If the only option is Intel CPU with Nvidia GPU versus an AMD CPU with their GPU I voted Intel.

I would be interested in the option to have AMD GPU's combined with Intel CPU's assuming they offer the best price/performance ratio available.

Yep, for example the Vanquish 4 with Intel 4670k and R9 280x for $1299 .   About the same gaming for $100 less but then dropping the gtx 770 will "tick" a lot of people off.   

Tough to keep everybody happy.

Maybe create a second lineup of prebuilt systems using AMD GPUs? But it really depends on what kind of deal they would get on the cards... Maybe they won't get the AMD card for any less than what they negotiated on the 770's??

To be honest, I'm not sure that this is the right crowd to answer the question. These forums probably attract people who are more interested in their computer's internals than is normal even for a Digital Storm buyer. Meanwhile, the Vanquish is Digital Storm's value-oriented offering, so potential buyers are probably more tightly focused on price and less on specific configuration, at least as compared to forum posters.
 
But that's just me speculating. And I'm sure that plenty of Vanquish purchasers take a very close look at what components will be included.

yep for me also, would consider AMD GPU but not if forced to take an AMD CPU in the deal. Now if AMD was the clear winner in the CPU market I would consider answering differently
