I got my first Desktop in 10 years of laptop use and realized I didn't have a SD Card Reader anymore.
This reader, when plugged into a USB 3 slot is super fast and easy. I take hundreds of pictures at my daughters games and it downloads them all very fast.
There were some more expensive, but I cannot justify them with this readers performance.

One of the most Hyped Games of the year. I was very disappointed. It is a decent game, but the mechanics were poor and the storyline left some to be desired.

I purchased this to use while gaming. I got a LOT of complaints form people on the other end that I was broadcasting static and they could barely hear me. I ended up spending a little bit more and got a different microphone that works much better.

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.
