This game was built with issues and sent out with issue. it is a bad sign when it requires a 15 GB patch in the first week. The game seems poorly built and not well thought out. I will play it because I paid for it but I am not enthused.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Banana clips are the best way to connect speakers to a receiver. Some are better than others. These were a little cumbersome on the first wire but got easier with experience. Nice solid connection.

I purchased this receiver open box. However, it has turned out to be an outstanding receiver. It connected easily and quickly. Using HDMI Arc is a great time saver. The sound is top notch. I would recommend this brand receiver to anyone.

This 40-inch screen has clear images and rich, natural color with an LED flat-screen and 1080p full HD resolution. It has the connections you need for video players, speakers and more. VESA mounting holes make wall mounting easy. Relax with the Insignia NS-40D510NA21 40" Class N10 Series LED Full HD TV.
How far apart are the legs of the tv and how wide are they. I have a stand that is 19 inch wide. will it fit
Typically on most TV's the legs are on the outer limits of the width of the TV. These are a couple inches from the edge.
Or about 34 inches
Your going to want to look for a TV that is about 20" or has a single pedestal in the middle. Which is not common anymore

Can this pc run at 240 monitor
Yes it can. The RTX 2080 Super is more than capable. However, I personally believe that is a little bit of a gimmick. I would challenge anyone running the same game on identical computers side by side to see the difference between 144 and 240 mhz without using equipment to analyze it.
However, I would strongly suggest a G-Sync monitor to go with it.

ASUS - AC3100 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Router
Take your smart home to the next level with this ASUS router. Boosted Wi-Fi speeds and intelligent signals streaming directly to each of your devices will keep your busy wireless network running smoothly, just the way you want.
Can you just add a router and have it dedicated to just one computer in a house with 5 smart TV's, IPAD's, phones, etc? We have a router and a booster now butI MUST have my computer work and be fast all the time. We have Frontier for internet. Thank you.
To be straightforward of you have having slow connections I would look to Frontier as the issue. At least in my area Frontiers Premium Service is 45 Mbs. I have not been that slow in years with Spectrum/Charter. I was getting 84 mps on my old router and now I am getting 140 mps with no change in service.
The nature of a mesh system is not set up to distinguish that this or that device uses this or that pod. Your device will connect to the closest and work at the max speed necessary for what you are doing.
For best performance on you computer you will need to figure out a way to connect Ethernet directly to your computer.
