It is a simplistic file organizer for your desk. It is heavy so it won’t move around but I find the plates that hold the files in place can be flexible as well

Corsair makes some of the best PC gaming products around and this keyboard does not disappoint. They keys are actually pretty quiet and you can type very fast. Cool RGB and the volume wheel looks classy as a nice touch. The braided cable is very thick and sturdy and comes with a USB pass through, so you can connect USB devices right into the keyboard as well, reducing desk clutter.

This is a fast notebook and can play newer games like Battlefield V at max settings with Ray Tracing on which was pretty impressive. On turbo mode it sounds like a hair dryer though and the speakers are very weak, they just do not go that loud. The keys feel a little small and flat and unless you have any type of RGB on, you cannot see letters/numbers of the keys. Having the RBG on will drain your battery faster so..... not to sure about that yet. When typing where your palms rest, it feels like a cheap brushed plastic. ASUS cut corners to put fast hardware internally and that does make for a quick notebook but to me the build quality it lacking. The claimed 240Hz monitor shows no difference to me when compared to my 144Hz monitor for my PC.
All in all I got it for a good price but have second thoughts on my purchase.

This receiver has a lot of inputs for all of your devices and a nice bar included for setting up the surround sound. I have been having issues with the TV and the single ARC HDMI connection recently. The TV is being replaced, I am not sure if it is the receiver or not. Other than than, its a decent receiver but could use more power if you want more than a 5.1 setup.

A TV that gets easy screen burn-in and mine had a bad panel in less than one year. All they will do is replace the panel with Geek Squad and not the TV itself, so you get a nice refurb. Very dissatisfied with the additional money I paid for the Geek Squad service and I do not recommend others to purchase this service after my experience. Spend the money to send out a technician, install a panel on a 3 year old TV that may not even work. Then the TV gets swapped out anyway (Which it will) only puts Best Buy at negative loss revenue for this transaction and makes absolutely no set from a business perspective.

Ahead of its time, ahead of the game is the GIGABYTE AERO OC 16G Graphics Cards.

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.

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.
