About Me

Hi! I’m Usman Saleem, with 8+ years of PC hardware expertise and a Google IT Support Specialization certificate, specializing in in-depth tech analysis and reviews. With a stethoscope in one hand and a gadget in the other, I’m both a doctor and a PC tech expert, dedicated to pursuing both my passions at the same time.

Position at Tech4Gamers

At Tech4Gamers, I’m the PC Hardware Specialist, primarily contributing to the “Best-Ofs” section. I provide thoughtful buying advice based on thorough testing and personal expertise. I also review hardware products and games to keep things fresh.

Tech Journey

From childhood, I’ve been immersed in gaming and PC hardware. Starting with a Pentium 2 PC, each named PC, from ZEUS to APOLLO, symbolizes a chapter in my journey. My true passion lies in the beating heart of the gaming industry – PC hardware.

Current PC setup

Currently, I’m rocking the following setup:

  • CPU Cooler: CoolerMaster MasterLiquid ML240R
  • OS: Windows 10
  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
  • Motherboard: MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK
  • GPU: ZOTAC GeForce RTX 3080 Ti AMP Holo
  • RAM: G.Skill TridentZ RGB 32GB 3200MHz CL16
  • SSD: Sabrent Rocket 4 PCIe 4.0 2TB NVMe
  • PSU: Corsair RM850x

I’m Excited About AMD Strix Halo APUs

AMD's upcoming Strix Halo APUs are reportedly packing a monstrous iGPU that can blow the doors off of budget GPUs, and I can't wait.

What Should You Upgrade First: CPU Or GPU?

Choosing between upgrading your GPU or CPU can be difficult. Here's everything you need to know about which component to upgrade first.

3 Reasons Why You Should Avoid Intel’s 14th Gen CPUs

Intel themselves calling this generation a 13th generation refresh is enough reasoning to skip the 14th generation CPUs.

AMD’s Gaming Revenue Is Declining – But It’s Not What You Think

AMD has declared a reduction in gaming revenue of nearly 50% year over year! Is everyone's favorite underdog company in trouble?

Can Intel Compete With NVIDIA And AMD?

It is funny to label Intel as the underdog in anything, but that's exactly what they are in the GPU space.

I NEVER Recommend Buying These PC Components Used

Gamers are terrified of the used market, but is it really that bad? Let's analyze the different components and see where you can save money.

Ultrawide Monitors Are Really Underrated

Ultrawide monitors seem to have vanished from the mainstream in recent years. I think this form factor need to make a comeback.

I Immediately Turn Down THESE Settings In a New Game

Turning down these graphics settings can give you a huge bump in performance while having a minimal impact on image quality.

Motherboards Are Getting Too Expensive

Motherboard prices seem to be on a steady climb over the past few years, and budget motherboards are almost non-existent. Why?

Why You Should Be Concerned About GPU Sagging

You should be concerned about GPU sagging because it can be hazardous, causing thermal throttling or even physical damage to the computer.

TDP Ratings Are Misleading – Here’s Why

Nowadays you can find a TDP rating on pretty much every box in the store. I think TDP ratings for processors can be quite misleading.

Here Are My Favorite GPU+CPU Combos In Summer 2024

Finding the ideal GPU+CPU pairing can be a hassle, so here are three of my favorite pairings in 2024, depending on your resolution of choice.

Do You Really Need a DRAM Cache In An SSD?

What role does the DRAM Cache actually play in an SSD's performance? Is it OK to buy a DRAM-less SSD to save some money?

Should You Skip PCIe 5.0 SSDs for Gaming (for Now)?

Do PCIe Gen 5 SSDs provide a tangible benefit, or is it all just hype? Let's analyze their benefits and drawbacks from a gamer's perspective.
