Intel Core i5 12400F Nvidia RX 9060 XT Gaming PC - G6 Infinity X5
Description
G6 Infinity X5: The i5 Sweet Spot at 1080p Ultra / 1440p
The G6 Infinity X5 pairs Intel’s 6-core Core i5 12400F (6 Performance cores, 4.40 GHz Turbo, 18MB Smart Cache) with the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB for 1080p Ultra / 1440p gaming. The 12400F is the i5 most 1080p Ultra / 1440p 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 X5 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 X5 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 X6 with the Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti for the AMD-side 1440p budget build's natural sibling, or to the G6 Infinity X4 with the AMD Radeon RX 7600 for the alternative path at this price band. Not certain which Infinity is the right one for your monitor and the games you play? Call Kevin on 01902 714533. He builds the machine, answers the phone, and gives a straight answer based on your setup, not a sales tier.
Inside the Vida Zephyr 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 Zephyr 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 650w G6 80+ Bronze PSU, sized with sustained-load headroom above the 12400F plus RX 9060 XT combination. The G6 Infinity X5 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 RX 9060 XT gaming PC range, or the 1440p gaming PC range for context.
The G6 Infinity X5 is suited to open world and RPG games like The Witcher 4, to Blood of Dawnwalker like action and adventure games, and to Borderlands 4 like Doom: The Dark Ages at 1080p Ultra / 1440p, plus the wider Ginger6 catalogue for any title not named here.
What’s Inside the G6 Infinity X5
Every component selected for 1080p Ultra / 1440p gaming on the i5 12400F platform. Dual-channel DDR5 in the canonical 2x8GB kit, NVMe Gen 4 storage, ARGB case fans on the Vida Zephyr White, and the PSU sized with the headroom the RX 9060 XT actually needs under load.
The i5 + RX 9060 XT 1080p Ultra / 1440p Sweet Spot
Three reasons the G6 Infinity X5 is the build that lands on this spec.
AMD's Current-Gen Lever On the i5
The X5 carries the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB on the i5 12400F. RDNA 4 architecture, third-generation hardware ray accelerators, FSR 4 AI-accelerated upscaling, FSR Frame Generation. The strongest AMD GPU in the Infinity range. The X5 is the AMD-side equivalent of the Nvidia X6 at a slightly lower price; the comparison query traffic on this page reflects exactly that decision.
9060 XT vs 5060: Two Honest Answers
The RX 9060 XT 8GB and the RTX 5060 8GB compete for the same 1080p Ultra / 1440p budget buyer. The 9060 XT carries RDNA 4 raster performance the 5060 trades off against; the 5060 carries DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation and CUDA workloads the 9060 XT does not. Neither is universally better. The X5 is the right answer if you want the AMD raster envelope, the FSR 4 upscaling path, and the Adrenalin driver suite.
1080p Ultra and 1440p Budget On the Same Build
The RX 9060 XT lands the build in two valid target windows. At 1080p Ultra with ray tracing toggled on, the GPU has margin. At 1440p high-refresh, the GPU holds modern AAA above 60 fps in most titles with FSR 4 quality engaged. The 650w PSU sits with comfortable headroom above the i5 12400F plus RX 9060 XT combination.
What the G6 Infinity X5 Plays
Four workloads the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB on the i5 12400F is sized for at 1080p Ultra / 1440p.
Cyberpunk 2077, Hogwarts Legacy, the modern RT-AAA rotation sit at 1080p Ultra on the RX 9060 XT with FSR 4 quality engaged. At 1440p high-refresh, the same recipe holds with FSR Frame Generation lifting the demanding scenes higher. The X5 covers both windows on one build.
The Witcher 4, Blood of Dawnwalker, Cyberpunk 2077, Baldur's Gate 3, the open-world and RPG rotation holds 1080p Ultra and 1440p high comfortably on the RX 9060 XT. The 8GB VRAM allocation is sized for the target windows this build is sold for.
Doom: The Dark Ages, Borderlands 4, Crimson Desert, the action and adventure rotation runs at 1440p high-refresh with FSR 4 engaged. The Adrenalin driver suite carries the current-generation title load. 1% lows stay clean.
Subnautica 2, the survival and horror rotation sits comfortably on the RX 9060 XT at 1440p high. The RDNA 4 architecture brings third-generation ray accelerators; for titles with ray-traced lighting, the X5 has the hardware path.
Where the G6 Infinity X5 Sits in the i5 Stack
The Infinity X5 is the strongest AMD GPU pairing in the Infinity range, the i5 12400F with the Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB. RDNA 4 architecture, third-generation hardware ray accelerators, FSR 4 AI-accelerated upscaling. The X5 lands the build at 1080p Ultra ray-traced or 1440p high-refresh single-title gaming, with the AMD driver path and FSR 4 doing the upscaling heavy lifting where the GPU's raster envelope tapers.
How the X5 compares to the RTX 5060. The RX 9060 XT and the RTX 5060 sit at the same price band on either side of the GPU aisle. The 9060 XT carries an RDNA 4 raster envelope the 5060 trades off against; the 5060 carries DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation and the CUDA workload path the 9060 XT does not have. For a 1440p target where FSR 4 quality covers the demanding scenes, the X5 is the right answer. For a 1440p target where DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation is the deciding feature, the X3 with the RTX 5060 or the X6 with the RTX 5060 Ti is the cross-shop. Neither is universally better; the choice is the upscaling path and driver suite, not a winner.
Every Infinity X5 is hand-built in Wolverhampton with the workshop's full 24-hour stress test, the same dual-channel 16GB DDR5 kit and 1TB Gen 4 NVMe SSD as the rest of the Infinity range, 3-year parts-and-labour warranty, free mainland UK delivery, and lifetime UK phone support. The Vida Zephyr White chassis is sized to carry the RX 9060 XT's length comfortably with ARGB case fans on intake and exhaust.

Who the G6 Infinity X5 Is For
Four buyer profiles where the G6 Infinity X5 is the right answer. If your situation matches one of these, the build fits.
You want a build that lands cleanly at 1080p Ultra with ray tracing toggled on, and at 1440p high-refresh with FSR 4 engaged, on the AMD side. The RX 9060 XT 8GB is the strongest AMD GPU in the Infinity range; the i5 12400F leaves the GPU as the ceiling at both target windows.
You searched for 'RX 9060 XT vs RTX 5060' or 'is the 9060 XT better than the 5060' and landed here. The honest answer: the 9060 XT carries the RDNA 4 raster envelope the 5060 trades off against; the 5060 carries DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation and the CUDA workload path the 9060 XT does not. Neither is universally better. The X5 is the right answer if you want the AMD raster and FSR 4 path; the X3 or X6 is the right answer if DLSS 4 is your decision driver.
You want the AMD driver suite (Adrenalin), the FSR 4 AI-accelerated upscaling path, and AMD's frame-generation implementation. The X5 carries the current-generation AMD recipe end-to-end. For workloads that lean on AMD-specific features (Radeon Anti-Lag 2, AMD Fluid Motion Frames, ROCm-adjacent compute), the AMD GPU is the path.
You have a 1440p panel and you want an AMD GPU sized for it at the i5 price band. The RX 9060 XT lands modern AAA above 60 fps at 1440p high with FSR 4 quality; competitive titles run well above 144 fps at 1440p. The 650w PSU is sized for the draw profile with sustained headroom.

Ordered a system from these guys recently. Had a phone call from a member of the team who explained that I had ordered fans of a different colour to the rest of the case so he replaced them with ones of the same colour. The replacements were better than the ones I ordered but he did it for no extra charge. The system arrived really quickly, and I am very, very happy.
Many thanks for the superb service, product and price. Pleasant and helpful people.
Excellent service. Help and advice given where required. Really quick turnaround, had the PC arrive within 2 days of ordering. Absolutely recommended. Thank you chaps.
Built by Hand in Wolverhampton
Every G6 Infinity X5 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 Zephyr 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 X5 is hand-assembled inside the Vida Zephyr White chassis. The i5 12400F is seated on the H610M K V2 with the Intel stock cooler cold-plate contact verified; the Zephyr White's mesh-front airflow path feeds the cooler stack directly. The RX 9060 XT is fitted with the anti-sag bracket and the GPU power cable routed behind the cable shroud. The 650w G6 80+ Bronze PSU is wired with sustained-load headroom in mind. BIOS, DDR5 5200MHz dual-channel mode, NVMe boot order, the latest AMD Adrenalin driver with RDNA 4 support confirmed, the on-board firmware update, and the included 300Mbps USB Wi-Fi adapter driver are all verified before the 24-hour test.
Every G6 Infinity X5 runs sustained 24-hour load before despatch. The test loop covers AMD Adrenalin driver behaviour on the RDNA 4 RX 9060 XT, FSR 4 quality engagement under sustained boost, memory stability under DDR5 5200MHz dual-channel timing, NVMe sustained throughput, and frame-pacing in modern AAA at 1080p Ultra ray-traced and 1440p high settings. Stock-cooler thermal headroom on the i5 12400F is logged across all six cores. The Vida Zephyr White airflow is verified under combined CPU plus GPU sustained load. Ships free to mainland UK addresses, insured and tracked.

Questions About the G6 Infinity X5
Neither is universally better; the answer depends on which lever you actually use. The RX 9060 XT carries the RDNA 4 raster envelope and FSR 4 AI-accelerated upscaling; the RTX 5060 carries DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation and the CUDA workload path. For 1440p high-refresh single-title gaming where FSR 4 quality covers the demanding scenes, the X5 with the RX 9060 XT is the right answer. For 1440p gaming where DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation is the deciding feature, the X3 or X6 on the Nvidia side is the cross-shop. At the same price band, both GPUs land the build at 1440p high-refresh comfortably; the choice is upscaling path and driver suite.
The G6 Infinity X5 sits at £1,079.99 as configured: i5 12400F, AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB, 16GB DDR5 5200MHz (2x8GB) Dual Channel, 1TB Gen 4 NVMe SSD, Windows 11 Home, 3-year warranty, free UK mainland delivery. The X5 is the current-generation RDNA 4 build at the top of the AMD side of the Infinity range. Hand-built in Wolverhampton, stress-tested for 24 hours, lifetime UK phone support.
Yes. The RX 9060 XT 8GB on the i5 12400F holds modern AAA at 1440p high settings above 60 fps in most titles, with FSR 4 quality engaged for the demanding scenes. Competitive titles run well above 144 fps at 1440p. For ray-traced AAA at 1440p, the third-generation hardware ray accelerators on RDNA 4 carry the workload; the X5 is sized for 1080p Ultra ray-traced and 1440p high-refresh single-title gaming.
The X5 carries the AMD RX 9060 XT 8GB at £1,079.99; the X6 carries the Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti 8GB at £1,169.99. Both share the i5 12400F, the H610M K V2 board, the 650w 80+ Bronze PSU, the 16GB DDR5 5200MHz (2x8GB) Dual Channel kit, and the 1TB Gen 4 NVMe drive. The X5 sits in the Vida Zephyr White; the X6 sits in the GameMax F15M. The X6 is the Nvidia-side equivalent with DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation and the CUDA path; the X5 is the AMD-side with FSR 4 and Adrenalin. Pick the upscaling and driver path.
FSR 4 is AMD's AI-accelerated upscaling standard, current-generation on the RDNA 4 architecture in the RX 9060 XT. It uses machine learning models on AMD AI cores to upscale a lower internal render resolution to the panel resolution. DLSS 4 is Nvidia's equivalent on the Blackwell architecture; both work to the same general purpose. FSR 4 is the AMD path; DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation is the Nvidia path. The X5 carries FSR 4; the X3 and X6 carry DLSS 4.
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, the M.2 slot for the boot drive, a SATA upgrade path. The 650w G6 80+ Bronze 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.

customer service was fantastic Review by Rob
Value Quality Price Customer Service I've now bought my home PC's both from Ginger 6 and this was my first step into PC gaming. First of all let me say the customer service was fantastic, both informative and I was updated on everything I needed to be. When a small issue came up they contacted me immediately and talked me through my options of which I was more than happy with the outcome.
The PC itself is fantastic, I chose to install my own operating system and after doing so I was away and enjoying myself. I have not had a single issue and and more than happy with the product. Keep up the fantastic work Ginger 6 staff, you're all brilliant. (Posted on 09/03/2023) -
