In the past, I'd buy Intel + Nvidia to hope to avoid these sorts of weird troubleshooting cases. This occurred because I had a first-gen AMD Athlon and ran Win2k, where support for Thunderbird CPUs/mobos was not complete, resulting in random crashes that required a mix of BIOS, Windows, and driver updates to completely resolve.
Nowadays, I have no idea if that advice (Intel + Nvidia) is still sound. There are way more AMD users than before, and computers are more complicated than they were 20 years ago.
