Cloud computing, in short, is just shifting from me owning and maintaining my hardware to AWS/Azure/GCP owning the hardware and also providing other software services. So what it enables is an easy startup cost to get going. And you have the ability to scale horizontally and vertically in a very dynamic way. So yeah, its probably here to stay. In terms of the security side of things, it is my opinion that AWS/Azure/GCP is way more secure, on average, than maintaining your own data center. Albeit it depends on other factors as well (who configured the thing, etc).

Hey all, I'm getting back into the PC gaming scene after a long time hiatus. I used to build computers back in my heyday of gaming (last build was 2008) and haven't gamed on PC in a while. Maybe you could say he's back, baby! I would like to keep my budget roughly around ~$1100. My current monitor is a Dell 3818DW which is pushing 3840 x 1600 @ 60Hz. Not necessarily trying to play with Ultra settings 300+ fps (maybe CS:GO, idk). I live near a Microcenter (Chicago, IL) and plan on doing an AMD bundle. Bonus- Hackintosh capable? Games that will be played but not limited to: Battlefield One Battlefield V PubG CS:GO CoD: MW Fortnite (if my friends can convince me) PCPartPicker Part List Type Item Price CPU AMD Ryzen 7 2700X 3.7 GHz 8-Core Processor $194.89 @ OutletPC Motherboard Asus TUF B450M-PLUS GAMING Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard $84.99 @ Newegg Memory Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory $92.99 @ Amazon Storage Samsung 970 Evo 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive $89.99 @ Amazon Video Card Gigabyte Radeon RX 5700 XT 8 GB GAMING OC Video Card $418.99 @ SuperBiiz Case NZXT H510 ATX Mid Tower Case $69.98 @ Amazon Power Supply EVGA G5 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply $76.88 @ OutletPC Operating System Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit $99.89 @ OutletPC Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total (before mail-in rebates) $1168.60 Mail-in rebates -$40.00 Total $1128.60 Generated by PCPartPicker 2019-10-22 21:43 EDT-0400 With the Microcenter combo, it brings the price down about ~$70. Link here. I could use suggestions, especially on the RAM and storage options. Open to a Ryzen 3600 build as well, but that would add ~$100.
