First time cyberpunk player

Hey, its my first time ever playing cyberpunk. I have a high end gaming PC and I wanted to know if there was anything to elevate the experience. I know mods exist but do they have any downsides while you play? Is there any mods people would recommend?

Also does anyone have any tips for a new person in the game, I really like this genre and was pissed I didn't get round to playing it earlier.

E7 Plus review

I’ve been thinking about getting a standing desk for a while now. My previous desk was very bad when it came to stability. Even a small shake would move everything on the desk, which got annoying when I was typing or moving things around. After looking at a few different options, I ended up going with the FlexiSpot E7 Plus.

I got the E7 Plus with the bamboo desktop and so far I’ve been really impressed with the quality of the desk. The build quality feels very good and I'm quite surprised as I was sceptical getting something that wasn't oak .

Assembly took a while though. I’m not someone who’s particularly used to building things, so it took longer than expected, overall it took around an hour and 45 minutes. I was expecting it to take a while anyway from reviews mentioning it took a significant more time to assemble compared to the E7 pro.

The guide was good enough to get me through everything, and I also used the YouTube video alongside it which helped when I wasn’t completely sure about something.

One thing I was disappointed about was missing out on some of the extras that come with the E7 Pro, like the cable tray. It would have made things a lot nicer and tidier under the desk. That said, I specifically went with the E7 Plus knowing that because stability was one of the biggest things I cared about. And the E7 Plus is yet to disappoint in terms of stability.

At sitting height there’s no issue with stability for what I’m doing, and even when I raise it up to standing height its very solid. Compared to my previous desk it’s a completely different experience.

The bamboo desktop was very good too. I wasn’t really sure what to expect from it before ordering, but the quality of the wood is really good. I also had to drill a couple of holes during assembly and the bamboo was very easy to drill into without any issues.

The motors have been smooth and quiet so far as well.

Overall I’m really happy with the E7 Plus.

Also, a big thanks to u/Ramzes888 for answering all the questions and queries I’ve had along the way.

Are OLED monitors worth the price tag?

I recently bought the MSI MPG 341cqr and I've been wondering if they are worth their price tag? I'm coming from a shitty 24 inch monitor for gaming / work stuff but I feel like I could have saved 600 by buying a good quality IPS. Is the difference in the quality really that much? I feel like its not worth the price but I don't know much about monitors so I was hoping what you monitor experts have to say 😃

msi mpg 341cqr turns grayscale after waking up my mac from sleep

I recently bought this monitor and I tried testing out HDR on my macbook. It was doing well but when I shut down my laptop or put it to sleep sometimes it would turn on with greyed colours for the entire screen. I don't have a picture but it was like this video at the start. Its fine if I turn off the monitor and turning it back on again. But it's starting to get quite annoying. I can't update the firmware as I haven't built my gaming pc right as I can't download gaming intelligence on Mac. Anyone encounter this issue before?

Samsung 990 pro 2tb vs WD Black sn850x

Hi, I have a 990 pro 2tb ssd that I haven’t used yet for a future build but I can get a sn850x for 90€ cheaper. Is this worth it? Is there any performance difference for general gaming / browsing. Any help is appreciated!

Impulse bought the hd 490 pro

I’m a beginner when it comes to sound and audio stuff, and I wanted a high-quality pair of headphones for gaming and general audio use. I landed on the HD 490 Pro, but I honestly have no idea about any of this audio-related stuff, so I’d be glad if someone could show me around a bit.

I’m thinking of getting the FiiO KA11 for my iPhone, and I was wondering if the UGREEN DAC is similar to it since it’s about €20 cheaper. Heck, I don’t even know what a DAC and amp do.
Anyone have any recommendations for something for the iphone?

Having never owned proper headphones before, I’m starting to feel like I might have wasted money. My PC motherboard is the MSI B850 Tomahawk, which uses the ALC4080 codec, and I’m worried about having to spend even more money on a DAC when I could’ve just gone for a decent pair of wireless headphones.
Anyone been in a similar situation, or anyone with more experience who could give me some advice?

New to PC building and ultrawide monitors also monitors in general, looking for advice

I'm currently planning my first PC build and I'm finding the monitor side of things a bit confusing since I have no experience with this stuff.

I'll be using the monitor for both gaming and software development for my job, so I'm looking for something that works well for both. I've been looking at ultrawides and from what I've seen, 34-inch models don't seem quite tall enough for me. A 38-inch ultrawide looks like it might be a better fit.

For people who have experience with these monitors, what are the best 38-inch ultrawides that are good for gaming and productivity? I know that right now LG and AW are releasing their own 39 inch 5k2k ones. Also, when I used to watch people talk about their monitors they would be 240/360hz why is that there is never any ultrawides that go up to this?

Any recommendations or things I should know before buying would be appreciated. Thanks.
