ulookuglynoob - Linus Tech Tips (original) (raw)

  1. For FPS games, I would recommend the Attack Shark X3. I have a pair, and it's a solid budget gaming mouse. You may want to get some aftermarket mouse states with it, since the stock ones aren't the greatest, but at around 50 euros and 54 grams, it is a solid mouse for the price.
  2. Hello! I will get a Nothing Phone (3a Pro) soon, and I am thinking of also getting some earbuds with it. Currently, I have fake AirPod Pro 2s, and they are terrible. I want to get a Nothing earbud, mainly because I like the brand, and I want to use the ChatGPT integration. I am deciding between the Ear (3rd Gen) and the Ear (a). I would prefer the cheaper Ear (a), but I heard that there are some issues with the battery health of these buds, so I would like all of your opinions on which one I want. I do want the best sound, so if there is a large difference in sound, I may get the Ear (3rd Gen), since I heard that the Ceramic drivers on the Ear sound much better and its EQ is much more advanced. Thanks for the advice!
  3. Yeah, I guess I won't worry about my looks. My current case is fine and will probably just upgrade CPU cooler, PSU, CPU, GPU, and monitor. thx!
  4. I want to look more sleek, modernish. Its just me. I can still live with my current setup's look.
  5. That was basically my original idea of making a new build and keeping the 3070. And I might do it, because I am no longer a fan of my RGB-heavy pc.
  6. Probably something like this? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vmWYh7 Could also get the 9070 if the price drops. I will also have to get a new psu, as my current one (Apevia Jupiter 600W) is about to explode.
  7. Lol yes I am obsessed with the idea of a white tower case. Might also get the 2000d. Thanks for the suggestions. instead of getting a new build, should I just upgrade my current lga 1700 PC to a 14700kf from a 12100f, upgrade monitor and CPU cooler, and get a GPU? current build: https://pcpartpicker.com/b/mBMv6h
  8. It has been a while since I last posted on this forum, and I am not the most caught up on the latest tech. I plan to build a new PC soon, but the GPU prices are crazy high right now, and idk if I could afford one. I really want an oled (qd-oled is too expensive rn, but I do prefer that) 1440p monitor, and I am considering putting my old 3070 in the new build. I mainly play CPU-intensive games, like Valorant, and may use the PC for studying. I also need an SFF PC, so I have to spend a bit more on the mobo, PSU, and case. Is the 3070 still good enough in 2025? I would also like recommendations on how to make the build cheaper, but I don't want to change the case (I don't mind paying a bit more for it): https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jN86Lc. I want to keep this build under 1500 USD, but the cheaper, the better. I appreciate the advice, and thanks in advance!
  9. You might have vocal recognition turned on. Does it listen to your commands?
  10. It makes me sad when nobody replies to my posts
  11. The Razer Basilisk V3 and the Logitech G502 are pretty similar in shape. I own a Basilisk V3 and find it very comfortable to use. I would recommend the wired versions to save money, but you can also get the Basilisk V3 Pro/Hyperspeed or the G502 Lightspeed if you prefer wireless.
  12. You will probably want to also upgrade the CPU. Maybe something like a 5700x3d if you want to stick with the same mobo.
  13. A pc build is a pc build. If it works, it's fine. And I don't think he cares, or else he would be on this forum.
  14. That job application link is crazy. I would have never thought of that.
  15. I will be building a new pc, probably a 9700x and a 9070, but I am still deciding.
