All the Jurassic Park movies in 4K, enhanced sound, what more could you ask for. This set also include all five films with physical Blu-ray Discs as well and their digital copies, so it’s the whole enchilada.

A game geared toward a younger generation in my opinion. Nintendo milking the Mario brand with a different spin on things.

This Nerf gun is weak and hardly shoots past the kitchen table. My 9 year old daughter struggles a bit to pull it back because it’s hard to lock in before firing. The removable barrel is useless and does nothing, you are paying for the Fortnight gimmick name. Stay away, others are a better purchase for your money. I’ve upped my daughter collection to about 15 Nerf guns and this is going to sit and collect dust, simply because it’s not fun to play with.

One of the best purchases if you have a Firestick. The back of the remote starts to slide off quickly after basic use but this keeps everything together, protects it from damage, feels good in your hand and looks nice. 100% recommended purchase.

GIGABYTE - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Aero OC 16GB GDDR6X PCI Express 4.0 Graphics Card - White
Ahead of its time, ahead of the game is the GIGABYTE AERO OC 16G Graphics Cards. Powered by NVIDIA's new RTX architecture, the GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4080 AERO OC 16G brings stunning visuals, amazingly fast frame rates, and AI acceleration to games and creative applications with its enhanced RT Cores and Tensor Cores, along with a staggering 16 GB of GDDR6X memory.
 

Would this be a good GPU for working with Unreal Engine 5?

It sure is, I have done multiple benchmarks with it. You should have no issues doing any type of rendering. Your main bottleneck would potentially be your CPU if any but I run an Intel i7-12700KF and it crushes everything I throw at it.

Will a 750 watt psu handle this and a 12700k?

I am running a 1000W PSU but I do not think a 750W will be able to push this card and an i7-12700K. The minimum power supply requirement for this card by itself is 850W.

This webcam features high-definition video calling and still image capture with up to 2.0MP resolution to ensure crisp, clear video and picture quality. The 1-click upload capability allows you to easily share pictures and videos online.
 

i HAVE A 82 INCH SAMSUNG SMART TV, AND I WONDERING IF WE CAN PUT A WEBCAM ON IT TO VIDEO CHAT WITH GRAND KIDS OR LIVE CONFERENCE. IF SO WHAT BRAND AND MODLE WOULD WE NEED TO DO SO.

If you have that big of a TV you don’t want to get a WebCam that is only 1080P. You will want to get a WebCam that is a 4K/HD WebCam otherwise you will have a more grainy looking video versus the high-quality image your TV is capable of. I would hit up Samsung support for specifics and they can move you in the right direction.

How do you hook this up to you computer is it good for zoom conference calls etc.

It’s a simple plug and play. Your PC Should recognize the device when you plug in the USB and when you open up your zoom application, it will use that HD camera as a default WebCam. Or you might have to play with the settings. Works fine with Zoom for my daughters online classes.

65" LG OLED TV A1 Thin Q. The picture on the screen is not a crystal clear one like ones in the store. Blurry. Do I have something programmed wrong?

The ones in the store are professionally calibrated to look like that. You can get that done as well through Best Buy or maybe check some YouTube vids on the TVs best settings.
