Some time has gone by and I've only made one Blog post in the last six months. I've had alot of things going on. One thing is for sure though, and that's Moore's Law is going strong and there's new hardware to be discovered. I usually pick Intel Processor's but the new 2nd generation AMD Ryzen Threadripper blows Intel's i9 chip out of the water this year and is amazing and actually slightly cheaper.
Here's
an expert enthusiast hardware configuration for an Extreme Performance
Gaming PC with some of the most current and best rated hardware
components. Keep in mind that this kind of build is not necessarily
affordable. It is a fantasy build meant to show off some of the most current and state-of-the-art PC components:
Computer case:
Thermaltake View 91 Tempered Glass RGB w/ Amazon Alexa voice control.
= $ 550.00
Motherboard (MOBO):
MSi MEG X399 Creation w/ DDR4 , 7.1 Audio, Triple M.2, Dual Gig LAN, Triple SLI
= $ 670.00
Power supply (PSU):
ThermaltakeToughpower iRGB PLUS Platinum 1200W
= $ 350.00

GRAND TOTAL APPROXIMATE COST = $ 11,560.00
That covers the core basic components needed to build a kick-ass PC
Gaming rig. I don't cover the extra peripherals such as keyboards, mice,
speakers, or headsets etc. There's such a diverse range of add-ons that it just comes down to your own preference. However with the base
components, it is usually easier to determine what is the best and newest.

Ultimate PC Configuration - Q1 2018
I'm a big fan of Marvel comics and all their super heroes and super villains. I have Spider-Man and Venom comics dating back from when I was just 10 years old and have been a fan of Marvel ever since. Remember the X-Men cartoons from the 90's?
Have you ever wondered what the order is for all of the different Marvel Hero movies and series are?
Following this paragraph is a list of the MCU movies that I've compiled into chronological order. Certain Marvel movies and series made by Fox studios are excluded from this list. The X-Men, Wolverine, Deadpool and Venom movies would be some examples. They are very important and iconic within the original Marvel Comics Universe but the movie equivalents of MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) are not quite as accurate to source material as fans would like. When it comes to converting them to the big screen, Hollywood movie company politics tend to influence and change writing to be different from the original source material and stories.

Iron Man 2 (2010)
The Incredible Hulk (2008)
