Whether You’ve Gone Intel or AMD, Here are the Best Gaming Motherboards
Picking the best motherboard for your gaming PC is often a lower priority than finding the most extreme graphics cards and processors you can buy. However, your motherboard is arguably just as – if not even more – important because it connects each of your components (from the main CPU to the most insignificant case fan) to each other.
This essential component also determines how quickly your gaming PC can run and how far you can overclock your components. Depending on the specs of your motherboard, you also might only be able to support memory up to a certain speed or a certain number of storage drives.

Netflix has been flexing its streaming muscles for some time now, and with the promise of 700 original programs and $8 billion in development money in 2018, the studio is showing no signs of slowing down. But has the investment paid off?
According to a report from Business Insider, investment firm Morgan Stanley has revealed the results of its annual survey, which shows that more US citizens prefer Netflix over other streaming and premium content providers like HBO, Amazon, and Hulu.
The survey is made up of 3,100 US residents. Morgan Stanley's research says that 39% of those surveyed believe Netflix has the "best original programming." This is a big leap from 2014, when just 17% of the participants felt that Netflix was the best in terms of original content.

Fans started fearing the worst after Oliver announced he's shuttering the HBO show before walking off set this past Sunday night. But it's likely just a cruel joke.
Last month, the host made headlines for spending a ton of money on a bunch of Russell Crowe memorabilia from the actor's divorce auction. Crowe got word of it and announced the money Oliver spent will be given to the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital to help koalas with chlamydia.

This Fortnite Calculator Helps You Manage Your Running Time
A Fortnite player has created a calculator to help estimate the run time from any point on the map, helping make getting caught in the storm a thing of the past.
Reddit user Yogsther created the tool in an effort to help players review their paths from previous matches and to help get an idea of paths for future games. The calculator allows you to place points anywhere on the map to pinpoint the distance between each marker and the time needed to get from one place to another. A grid can be toggled on and off, and grabbing a midpoint will transform it into a new marker. You can try the map out for yourself here.
