Hello everyone. I am currently in the process of choosing a monitor for my new build, but I am stuck between a few different choices. I really want an ultrawide monitor, but most of the ones I looked at were extremely expensive or had bad specs. Here are the 4 monitors I have narrowed it down to. My budget is around 300$ (give or take 50) Here are my current options. Ultrawide Monitor, okay specs. Extremely well-rounded monitor. Cheaper one Other pretty good one I am located in the US. Here is my current build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XRjMyf

Hello people of the internet, so I've been looking to buy a new headset or a new pair of headphones, I watched alot of youtube reviews etc and most of them suggest getting a good pair of headphones with a desktop mic or modmic.

I have a budget of ~340$, so should i get a headset like the ATH-ADG1X or Sennheiser PC 363D or Sennheiser Game Zero, or a good pair of headphones with a modmic? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I'm new here in the PC world, so as I don't have that much money to spend... Rate how well does it look for the price (I'm from Mexico) Processor: AMD A4-7400 Dual-core 3.8GHz/4.0GHz - $35 USD Motherboard: ECS micro ATX A68F2P-M4 (V1.0) - $40 USD Memory: AData XPG 8Gb 1600Mhz - $39 USD / each HDD: WD Blue 1Tb SATA III - $48 USD Cabinet: Acteck Lisse AC-05009 w/500W PS - $27 USD Fan: Eagle Warrior 120mm Blue LED - $10 USD / each Monitor: Samsung LED 18.5" S19F350HNL - $63 USD Keyboard: Genius KB-G255 - $15 USD Mouse: Eagle Warrior G15 - $20 USD That's for a start... And later on I can look to upgrade to: Second RAM stick. - $39 USD Graphics Card : Gigabyte AMD Radeon R7 250 2Gb DDR3 - $70 USD Processor: AMD A8-7650K (Black) Quad core 3.3Ghz/3.5Ghz - $80 USD CPU Fan: Cooler Master Hyper T2 - $29 USD SSD: Kingston V300 240Gb - $70 USD So, what's your opinion, great for an affordable upgrade? or are there better budget ideas for an FM2+ socket?

Hello, Im searching a best smartwatch for myself for ~ 300 $ or €. Can somebody share experience of smartwatches world and suggest anything for me. Thanks.

I Want To Build The Best PC Under 300$. I Don't Want My PC To Look Cool, I Want My PC To Perform Best In This Price Range. Usage: Moderate Gaming And Multitasking. Exclude Optical Drive.

I am building a new PC and would like to know what can be cheapened...I need the GPU and SSHD as the same or higher...the rest of the build can be edited to convience.I would be using the pC for content creation and light mine-ing(NiceHash).My budget is 20K INR(300 USD).THE BUILD IS WAY ABOVE THAT AND I KNOW THAT. https://in.pcpartpicker.com/list/DgXgsZ -Build link SIde-note:Many online builds suggest using a GTX 1050 but that is way costly and also I prefer AMD in terms of processor and GPU.

I am in grade 10 and I think I have enough saved up money to buy a decent smartphone. This will be my first own official phone. I will primarily use it for YouTube tech videos(around 15 videos a day), Prime Video, WhatsApp, and a few games like Clash Royale and Need for Speed. Currently I do all of this on a laptop and a 7 inch Tablet with a 480p screen. The laptop is constantly occupied in my house so the smartphone. I think I know the specs I need and could get it for around 200$ but I want excellent build quality since I want it to last at least 2 to 3 years with regular updates. I don't think I will even put a SIM card inside it so it doesn't matter and I will use WiFi mostly so I need good speeds since there are a lot of solid walls here. I want a very good screen at least 720p 5.5 inch. FHD would be good. I also want a screen that has a very low brightness setting for use in pitch darkness and a moderate brightness for use under a bright LED light. Most processors can handle the stuff I throw it and I am not the person who leaves a million tabs open in chrome or 10 to 20 background apps running, so as long as there are no unexpected lags in heavy games then no problem, I don't care about the camera and audio since I rarely take photos and seldom selfies. I almost always use a headphone. Still decent audio and camera especially software would be a great bonus. I prefer stock Android nut a few tweaks like on OxygenOS or the one that OnePlus runs is still fine. Required Specs: Processor-Snapdragon 435 or above(I'd rather go for Qualcomm than anything else unless it offers equal performance) GPU- Something as long as it's not old RAM- 2/3 GB Storage-16GB should suffice but 32 is more than sufficient Screen- 5.5inch minimum, 6.5 inch maximum(I have large hands unlike Linus); IPS FHD/HD Quad HD would be really cool Camera- Something decent on the back with a good Pro mode and good video quality and compression A fingerprint sensor would be nice but I don't need it. Battery- I want something that will last atleast 6 hours of moderate to heavy use on a charge. Above all speedy charging with Dash/Quick charge is absolutely essential. On brands I have no preference but I don't want any Vivo, Oppo or Lava phones because of shit software. Any other brand with regular software updates is good. I also want at least Android Nougat 7.0. I don't mind buying refurbished or used phones provided they are worth it. I also would like a 18:9 aspect ratio if available at the price range. Battery life, WiFi and screen quality are most important. Oh and it would be good if you can give me links to the phones. I intend to buy the phone in April so by then if new flagships launch will I be able to get older refurbished ones at good rates. i also have my eye on the OnePlus 5T even though it is more expensive.

So I'm looking for a laptop for school that is ~300$ USD. I'm ok with refurbished but it needs to have a battery life of at least 5-6hours. I prefer windows, but Chromebooks are ok. (Not gonna be doing heavy tasks). 4gb of ram is needed, and a faster processor (and/ or quad core) is preferred. Also, I prefer something smaller than 15in, but if there's a great value at 15in, I'll buy it. I typically use about 10-20 chrome tabs at a time. (Plus a few lightweight applications) Currently I'm looking at this dell. https://smile.amazon.com/Dell-Latitude-E6410-Laptop-Refurbished/dp/B01HEB1CP4/ref=sr_1_16?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1470799951&sr=1-16&keywords=Dell+Latitude&refinements=p_36%3A15000-33000 and these two chromebooks https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015806LMM/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me= https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Chromebook-Aluminum-Quad-Core-CB3-431-C5FM/dp/B01CVOLVPA/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1470760908&sr=1-4&keywords=chromebook (A touchscreen is preferred but not necessary for a chromebook. ^these have better screens and processors than others of a similar price with a touchscreen) I'm also looking at the HP chromebook 11 g5, but I'm waiting till its goes on amazon, cause I'm using a lot of amazon gift credit to get this laptop. If anyone has any good suggestions for good laptops that meet these specs and price that would be very helpful. Thanks

I need a Mobo to my build that is good, but has broadwell e support for the 6800k and is under my budget of 300$ at most. I would like to pay less than that though.

Hi everyone, I've a close friend that wants to build a computer for his wife for use with autocad, Photoshop, illustrator, revit, and some other rendering software (she's an architect designer). They wanted to buy a regular name brand computer and I seriously doubt an of the shelf 300$ computer can do them any justice. Do you guys think it's doable with a 300$ budget? I figured an APU from AMD can get it done but I wanted some help just cause. Thanks in advance!

Hi guys, im needing a good 21:9 monitor in a range between 200$ and 300$USD, any suggestions?

Thanks everybody for your answers in my first post "http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/298143-planning-a-new-upgrade-with-300us-and-no-more-from-venezuela/" (especially Aniallation) Right now, my system is: Case: Cooler Master Ammo 533 (an old case, functional... And free) MB: GIGABYTE GA-F2A88X-UP4 APU: AMD A6-7400K GPU: (For now) Integrated Radeon R5 Graphics RAM: 8GB (2x4GB) HyperX Savage DDR3 2133MHz HDD: WD Caviar Blue 500GB (I didn't pay for this one) PSU: Cooler Master V700 80Plus Gold Right now, I don't have any $$ to spend in a discrete graphics card like the R9 290, but now AMD is doing some noise with that one adding 4GB more. Is that a good option for a "future-proof" build? Is that graphics card really having 8GB of GPU memory?... Or just 4GB? I can say my Radeon R5 integrated graphics goes pretty well in some games... But having a 24" 1080P monitor, maybe that is the best resolution to play games. And, games like NFS Rivals can't go well without reducing to 720p or more. For that, maybe I need more GPU power with a new graphics card. Can you recommend me one to play in medium, high or ultra, without passing through 300$? (maybe I can get a little more, but for sure: 300$)

hello I did just rensently buy the sennheiser hd600 really great headphone, I vant a new open headphone for some critical listened.

(sorry my english)

Hey, Currently looking into a new set of speakers to my PC. At the moment I'm using some cheap Logitech 2.1 speaker which I bought a long time ago at about ~60$ and this time I want to get something of higher quality. I was recommended to get a pair of active 2.0 speakers (Argon 7450A,http://http://www.argonaudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/7450A-7460A-UK-01-09-2011A5format.pdf) instead of a regular 2.1 system at that price tag and eventually get a subwoofer if I feel the need of extra bass. I'd really like some help on this matter since I'm having a hard time. I'm mainly going to use my speakers for gaming/music/movies. I wouldn't consider myself an audiophile but I do appreciate good sound. I was told 2.0 delivers a more balanced sound and apparently doesn't require an amplifier but I'm asuming that would always improve the sound if I decide to get one in the future or is it just a complete waste? Once again I'd really appreciate some help and recommendations of other speakers if possible! /From

Hi guys, I am currently using a Gigabyte GTX 780Ti Ghz Edition, it's a completely new build, so far I'm using my old 1366*768 monitor and I can't wait to get out of it. Problem is, I don't know a good monitor and I suck at choosing them. I've seen the benchmarks for the 780Ti online and I can't figure out what way to really go.What I've even seen is that I would need a DisplayPort for it as HDMI can't wiggle more than 60Hz and well, IT'S A 780Ti. My budget is approximately 300$ and region isn't a problem as well, I'll do whatever it takes to get it. Please kindly help me. P.S-Is there any 1440p 120/144Hz monitor? Could you post a link for it? Thank You
