Intel Core i5 12400F Nvidia RTX 5060 Gaming PC - G6 Infinity X3
Description
G6 Infinity X3: The i5 Sweet Spot at 1080p
The G6 Infinity X3 pairs Intel’s 6-core Core i5 12400F (6 Performance cores, 4.40 GHz Turbo, 18MB Smart Cache) with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 8GB for 1080p gaming. The 12400F is the i5 most 1080p gaming buyers should be looking at: a mature 6-core part on the settled LGA1700 platform, with the cache and frequency modern gaming engines reward, at the i5 price point structurally below the Storm i7 tier. Hand-built in Wolverhampton against the same workshop process Ginger6 has run since 2001, the G6 Infinity X3 ships fully tested with a 3-year warranty and lifetime UK phone support.
The Infinity range is built around one CPU: the i5 12400F. What changes from G6 Infinity X3 up or down the ladder is the GPU, the case, and the PSU sized to match. That is the range design: the i5 thread count and cache stay constant, the GPU you actually need decides the build. Step across to the G6 Infinity X4 with the AMD Radeon RX 7600 for the 1080p Ultra build's natural sibling, or to the G6 Infinity X6 with the RTX 5060 Ti for the alternative path at this price band.

He builds the machine, answers the phone, and gives a straight answer based on your setup, not a sales tier.
Inside the Vida Lucid White mid-tower, the 12400F runs under the Intel stock cooler, sized for the 65W base power and the sustained gaming load this build is sold for (a 1-4 core gaming workload sits comfortably below the cooler's sustained-load ceiling). ARGB case fans on the Vida Lucid White handle case airflow. The Gigabyte H610M K V2 carries the LGA1700 socket with the H610M chipset, two DDR5 DIMM slots populated with 16GB DDR5 5200MHz (2x8GB) Dual Channel memory in dual-channel mode, an M.2 NVMe slot for the included 1TB Gen 4 SSD, 1GbE Realtek LAN, and Wi-Fi connectivity supplied by an included 300Mbps USB Wi-Fi adapter. Power comes from the 500w G6 80+ Bronze PSU, sized with sustained-load headroom above the 12400F plus RTX 5060 combination. The G6 Infinity X3 sits inside our £1200 gaming PC tier and the wider Intel gaming PC range, specifically the Intel Core i5 gaming PC range. Browse the full Ginger6 gaming PC catalogue, the RTX 5060 gaming PC range, or the 1080p gaming PC range for context. Looking at the AMD X3D path at this price tier? The G6 Apex 1 with the Ryzen 5 7500X3D and the same RTX 5060 is the natural sibling decision.
The G6 Infinity X3 is suited to sandbox and creative games like Palworld, to open world and RPG games like Hogwarts Legacy, and to competitive shooters like Fortnite at 1080p, plus the wider Ginger6 catalogue for any title not named here.
What’s Inside the G6 Infinity X3
Every component selected for 1080p gaming on the i5 12400F platform. Dual-channel DDR5 in the canonical 2x8GB kit, NVMe Gen 4 storage, ARGB case fans on the Vida Lucid White, and the PSU sized with the headroom the RTX 5060 actually needs under load.
The i5 + RTX 5060 1080p Sweet Spot
Three reasons the G6 Infinity X3 is the build that lands on this spec.
12400F + RTX 5060: 1080p Ultra On the i5
The i5 12400F leaves the RTX 5060 as the ceiling at 1080p Ultra. Frame rates in the modern AAA rotation hold comfortably above 60 fps; competitive titles run into the high hundreds at 1080p. The 12400F's 6 cores carry the game thread; background workload sits where it belongs without contention.
RTX 5060 8GB GDDR7: Ray-Tracing Comfortable
The RTX 5060 carries 8GB of GDDR7 on a 128-bit bus with fourth-generation ray-tracing cores. DLSS 4 quality and DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation are the difference between a playable RT scene and a comfortable one. At 1080p Ultra the GPU sits squarely in its target window; for entry 1440p the same RT-plus-DLSS recipe holds with margin.
Vida Lucid White: Clean Monochrome Build
The Vida Lucid White chassis matches the X3 to a clean monochrome desk aesthetic. ARGB case fans, mesh front for intake, tempered-glass side panel. The same 16GB DDR5 5200MHz dual-channel kit and 1TB Gen 4 NVMe SSD as the rest of the Infinity range, on the same 500w 80+ Bronze PSU sized for the RTX 5060's draw profile.
What the G6 Infinity X3 Plays
Four workloads the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 8GB on the i5 12400F is sized for at 1080p.
Cyberpunk 2077 with ray tracing engaged, Black Myth Wukong, Hogwarts Legacy, Alan Wake 2, and the modern ray-traced AAA rotation sit at 1080p Ultra on the RTX 5060 with DLSS 4 quality and DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation handling the demanding scenes. Frame pacing stays clean.
CS2, Valorant, Apex Legends, Fortnite, Overwatch 2 run well above 240 fps at 1080p competitive settings on the RTX 5060. The i5 12400F's six cores carry the network thread, voice chat, and the OBS recording stack while the game holds frame rate.
For a 1440p panel target with DLSS 4 quality engaged, the RTX 5060 holds modern AAA above 60 fps in most titles. The 8GB GDDR7 VRAM is sized for 1080p Ultra; at 1440p with DLSS, the upscaling does the heavy lifting and the VRAM allocation holds.
Hogwarts Legacy with ray tracing on, Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty, the latest RPG releases hold 1080p Ultra with the ray-tracing toggle comfortable. DLSS 4 carries the demanding scenes; the i5's six cores feed the engine cleanly.
Where the G6 Infinity X3 Sits in the i5 Stack
The Infinity X3 is the 1080p Ultra build on the i5 12400F sweet spot. The RTX 5060 8GB on GDDR7 carries fourth-generation ray-tracing cores and DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation. At 1080p Ultra in the modern AAA rotation, the GPU holds well above 60 fps with ray tracing toggled on; competitive titles run into the high hundreds. The Vida Lucid White chassis matches the X3 to a clean monochrome desk aesthetic with ARGB case fans on intake and exhaust.
The X3 is the natural buy for a 1080p buyer who wants ray tracing comfortable in the AAA rotation, or for a budget 1440p target with DLSS 4 engaged. Looking at the AMD path at the same price band? The X4 with the RX 7600 is the AMD-side cross-shop, or the X5 with the RX 9060 XT for the AMD 1440p step-up. If you want more cores for streaming alongside gaming, the Storm X1 with the i7 12700F and the same RTX 5060 is the natural Intel sister.
Every Infinity X3 is hand-built in Wolverhampton with the workshop's full 24-hour stress test, 3-year parts-and-labour warranty, free mainland UK delivery, and lifetime UK phone support. The RTX 5060 is seated with the anti-sag bracket; cable management routes the GPU power cable behind the shroud away from the front intake.
Tell Kevin:
- The games you play most often
- Your monitor resolution and refresh rate
- Whether you stream, record, or edit alongside gaming
- Your approximate budget
No charge for the conversation. No pressure to buy.
Who the G6 Infinity X3 Is For
Four buyer profiles where the G6 Infinity X3 is the right answer. If your situation matches one of these, the build fits.
You play modern AAA at 1080p Ultra and you want ray tracing toggled on in the titles that have it (Cyberpunk 2077, Hogwarts Legacy, Alan Wake 2, the modern RT rotation), not toggled off because the GPU cannot hold it. The RTX 5060 on the i5 12400F is the build sized for that buyer: 8GB GDDR7, fourth-generation RT cores, DLSS 4 quality and Multi Frame Generation.
You want a clean monochrome desk aesthetic with a white chassis, white case fans, and a tempered-glass side panel to show the white build through. The Vida Lucid White chassis on the X3 lands that visual without compromise on airflow or front-IO. ARGB case fans on intake and exhaust handle case-side lighting.
You have a 1440p panel and you want a build that holds modern AAA above 60 fps with DLSS 4 quality engaged. The RTX 5060 at 1440p with DLSS is well-sized; for the 1440p step-up without DLSS, the X6 with the RTX 5060 Ti is the natural buy. The X3 is the entry into 1440p territory on the i5.
The X3 with the RTX 5060 sits at the same GPU as the G6 Apex 1 with the Ryzen 5 7500X3D and the same RTX 5060. The Infinity X3 carries the Intel i5 12400F (6 cores, mature 12th-gen platform); the Apex 1 carries the AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D (6 cores with 3D V-Cache, cache-led gaming performance). Both are excellent; the choice is workload, not winner.

I bought a brand new PC from Ginger6. The PC is a lot cheaper than anywhere else I saw. If you want any changes, write to them or call and they answer very fast. The PC was very well prepared for delivery. Ginger6 give you a guarantee for the PC for 3 years.
I ordered a PC from Ginger6 and was extremely pleased with everything. From the easy to use website, excellent service and communication, not only online but also over the phone and email. The clear and quick checkout was also nice. The price is very reasonable. I will definitely use again and highly recommend to everybody looking for a new computer.
I'm very particular about what features I want in a PC which is why I looked to get a custom build rather than something off the shelf. Thankfully the team were very helpful in answering all my questions and putting together a spec based on my needs and price point. My PC arrived in quick time and the delivery was set up for a day that I'd be in. A great service.
Built by Hand in Wolverhampton
Every G6 Infinity X3 goes through the same three-stage workshop process. The 24-hour stress test is the gate that holds dispatch.
Before assembly begins, the configuration is reviewed against the games you play, the monitor you own, and any creative work or streaming you run alongside gaming. If you have spoken to Kevin, the build sheet reflects that conversation. Components are verified against current stock, the Intel stock cooler mounting hardware is confirmed for the LGA1700 socket on the Vida Lucid White, and the build is queued in the workshop schedule. No shortcuts on stock substitution: the part on the order is the part in the build.
The G6 Infinity X3 is hand-assembled inside the Vida Lucid White chassis. The i5 12400F is seated with the Intel stock cooler verified for cold-plate contact, the ARGB case fans on the White colourway intake and exhaust are configured for direct airflow to the cooler stack. The RTX 5060 is seated with the anti-sag bracket; the GDDR7 memory stack runs on Blackwell drivers confirmed at the latest stable release. Cable management routes the GPU power cable behind the cable shroud, away from the front intake. BIOS, DDR5 5200MHz dual-channel mode, NVMe boot order, firmware update, and the 300Mbps USB Wi-Fi adapter driver are all verified before the 24-hour test.
Every G6 Infinity X3 runs sustained 24-hour load before despatch. Frame-pacing is logged in modern AAA at 1080p Ultra with ray tracing engaged and DLSS 4 quality and Multi Frame Generation active; the RTX 5060 is held at sustained boost across the GDDR7 memory stack. Stock-cooler thermal performance on the i5 12400F is monitored across all six cores, DDR5 5200MHz dual-channel stability is tested, NVMe sustained read/write is verified. The Vida Lucid White chassis intake and exhaust airflow is verified under load. Ships free to mainland UK addresses, insured and tracked.

Questions About the G6 Infinity X3
The G6 Infinity X3 sits at £1,060.00 as configured: i5 12400F, RTX 5060 8GB GDDR7, 16GB DDR5 5200MHz (2x8GB) Dual Channel, 1TB Gen 4 NVMe SSD, Windows 11 Home, 3-year warranty, free UK mainland delivery. The X3 is the 1080p Ultra build on the i5 sweet spot, with ray tracing comfortable in the modern AAA rotation. Hand-built in Wolverhampton, stress-tested for 24 hours, lifetime UK phone support.
Yes. The RTX 5060 on the i5 12400F holds modern AAA at 1080p Ultra comfortably above 60 fps with ray tracing toggled on, and DLSS 4 quality plus DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation lift the demanding scenes higher. For competitive titles, frame rates sit well into the high hundreds at 1080p. The 8GB of GDDR7 on the RTX 5060 is sized correctly for the 1080p Ultra target this build is sold for.
Both carry the RTX 5060 8GB. The Infinity X3 carries the Intel i5 12400F (6 cores); the Storm X1 carries the Intel i7 12700F (12 cores). The X3 sits at £1,060.00; the Storm X1 sits at £1,239. The price gap is the i7 thread count. For gaming alone the i5 is the sweet spot; for gaming plus OBS streaming, plus a heavy launcher, plus video recording, the i7's 12 cores earn the price gap. Pick the workload, not the lower number.
Yes, with DLSS 4 quality engaged. The RTX 5060 at 1440p with DLSS holds modern AAA above 60 fps in most titles; the i5 12400F leaves the GPU as the ceiling. For a native 1440p target without DLSS, the X6 with the RTX 5060 Ti is the natural step up; the X3 is the entry into 1440p territory on the Infinity range.
Purely cosmetic. The Vida Lucid White is the white colourway of the same Vida Lucid chassis the X1 ships in. Same mesh front, same airflow path, same tempered-glass side panel, same ARGB case fan configuration. The white build matches a monochrome desk aesthetic without compromise on thermal behaviour.
Two upgrade paths. Add a USB Wi-Fi adapter that includes Bluetooth at checkout, or step the motherboard up in the configurator to a B760M-class board with onboard Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3. Either path keeps the rest of the build identical.
Yes. The LGA1700 socket supports current-generation Intel chips; the H610M K V2 has two DDR5 DIMM slots supporting up to 64GB, the M.2 slot for the boot drive, a SATA upgrade path for secondary storage, and the 500w PSU has the headroom for a one-tier GPU upgrade in future. A 2TB Gen 4 NVMe drive is the obvious first upgrade as your library grows.
