I am a PC Gamer but decided to get a PS5, and I love it.
I needed to learn to use the controllers.
I needed to learn to use the controllers.
Playstation Plus was a great addition because it allowed me to get a bunch of PS4 games at no extra cost so I could learn to work with the controllers.
My daughter loved it because she could get her favorite version of COD without having to buy it again.

I call this best in class because I had purchased a less expensive brand that could only charge via a USB-C port. Well the PS5 has a USB-C port on the front. But it is not powered when the PS5 is turned off, and I didn't like having it stick out the front. And it did not come with a charging brick. The price of which would make its cost higher than the DualSense.
So I got the Sony DualSense. it comes with a charging brick so I can plug it into my power center and not have cords running around.

Like a lot of games that get a lot of hype about how awesome they are, this game becomes a little tiring after several hours. Kind of a rinse, wash, repeat type of game.
For me I prefer a little more of a challenge.

Shine 2000 lumens of brightness on driveways, sideyards and high-traffic areas with a hardwired adjustable Floodlight. Floodlight Wired connects to the Ring Bridge (sold separately) to unlock smart controls and custom combinations in the Ring App. The Ring Bridge lets you group together Ring Smart Lights and connect them to Ring doorbells and cameras. If one Ring Bridge-enabled device detects motion, it can turn on lights, activate cameras and more. With the Ring Bridge you can also link your Ring Smart Lights to select Alexa-enabled devices to turn on lights and adjust settings at the sound of your voice.
Excellent motion sensor flood. Needs to be smarter

Great motion sensor flood light. You can adjust the angle of the lights. They are very bright and can light up my driveway all the way to the street and beyond.
However, the setting in the app is supposed to tell them to turn off after 30 seconds of no motion. Sometimes it will stay on for hours.

The Ring Bridge unlocks smart controls for Ring lights. It lets Ring lights, doorbells and cameras talk to each other and work better together in the Ring App, so you can receive mobile notifications whenever motion is detected and adjust settings with your phone or tablet. With the Ring Bridge you can also group together Ring Smart Lights and connect them to Ring doorbells and cameras. If one Ring Bridge-enabled device detects motion, it can turn on lights, activate cameras and more. It also lets you connect Ring Smart Lights to Alexa-enabled devices to turn on lights and adjust settings at the sound of your voice. *One Ring Bridge supported per household. Supports approximately 50 Ring Smart Lighting devices, including Motion Sensors (dependent on usage and other factors).
Smart device, could be smarter.

The Ring Bridge seamlessly ties all your Ring Products into groups for easy access and control on your Smart Phone, tablet or computer. Requires the Ring App.
However, it could be smarter than it is.
I installed 2 Ring Floods (one with a camera) on the front of my house and a Ring bulb into my 3rd existing lantern. The Bridge via the App can turn that bulb on and off in dusk/dawn. However what would be smarter of it if I could tell that bulb to turn on and off when the floods detect motion.
Also you use the app to program the Bridge to control your devices. The settings do not always work to well. Meaning I set my floods to turn off after 30 seconds of no motion, and sometimes they will stay on for hours.
However, I do recommend this as it is a very good device and ties it all together.

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.
