Rahim Amir

Rahim Amir is a UAE-based tech writer who enjoys building PCs as much as he enjoys writing about them. He has been professionally writing about PC hardware since 2023, focusing on buyer’s guides, hardware reviews, and sponsored content and features related to tech.

Having built hundreds of gaming PCs and being an avid gamer in his spare time, Rahim tends to have stronger opinions about hardware than most. This is particularly on display when he gets his way with powerful, but minimalistic RGB builds even as Small Form Factor (SFF) PCs come a close second.

In addition to his contributions to TechRadar, Rahim’s work has also been featured on Game Rant and financial news websites.

When he’s not working, you can find him playing DotA with friends or schmoozing to take the world over in Civilization. Alternatively, you can find him binging through the entirety of the Lord of The Rings universe with extended editions in play where applicable.

You can currently catch Rahim grinding Path of Exile 2, complaining about his (extremely low) unique loot drop rate, or actively participating in one of the numerous (and heated) debates centered around Tolkien's universe on multiple forums daily.

If you have a PC build or a Satisfactory playthrough in progress, he is likely to have some advice to send your way, especially regarding verticality being key for the latter. For the former, Rahim enjoys all aspects of the process including researching the components he will eventually use, benchmarking the latest and greatest hardware he can get his hands on, and somewhat surprisingly, cable management once he gets his latest build to POST.
