   The i5-12400F is the perfect pair for RTX 3060. No bottleneck.
   • 6 Cores, 12 Threads @ 4.4GHz: It beats i7-10700K and Ryzen 5 5600X in gaming. You get 120+ FPS in esports and 80+ FPS in AAA.
   • PCIe 4.0 Support: The RTX 3060 uses full PCIe 4.0 x16 bandwidth. No performance loss.
   • 65W Efficient: Runs very cool in the compact 25L case. Even in Nairobi heat, it stays under 70C.
   • Upgrade Path: Supports DDR4 and DDR5 boards in GT14. You can upgrade to 32GB later for KSh 7,000.
2. NVIDIA RTX 3060 8GB – The True 1080p & 1440p King
   This is the biggest upgrade from GT12. RTX 3060 8GB is 90% faster than GTX 1660 6GB and 2.5X faster than GTX 1650.
   • 8GB GDDR6 VRAM: Modern games need 6GB+ VRAM. 8GB means you can play Forza Horizon 5, Hogwarts Legacy, Alan Wake 2 at 1080p Ultra and 1440p High without texture pop-in.
   • 2nd Gen Ray Tracing: Experience realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections in Cyberpunk 2077, Spider-Man, and Control. GTX 1660 cannot do Ray Tracing at all.
   • DLSS 2.0 – Free FPS Boost: DLSS AI upscales low resolution to high. You get 40-70% more FPS. A game running at 50 FPS natively runs at 85 FPS with DLSS Quality.

3. 16GB Dual Channel DDR4 RAM – The Sweet Spot
   16GB (2x8GB) dual channel at 3200MHz is perfect for RTX 3060. Dual channel gives 15% more FPS vs single stick. You can run FiveM GTA RP with high mods, Warzone, Discord, Chrome, OBS all at once. For heavy video editing, you can upgrade to 32GB in 10 minutes at our shop.
4. 256GB Gen4 NVMe SSD – Ultra Fast Boot & Load

2. True 1440p Gaming PC Under 230K: RTX 3060 8GB runs 95% of games at 1440p High 60-80 FPS. GTX 1660 struggles at 1440p. If you own or plan to buy a 27″ 1440p monitor, GT14 is the cheapest proper entry.
3. Ray Tracing & DLSS – Next-Gen Features: GTX 1660 cannot do Ray Tracing. RTX 3060 can. You get next-gen lighting in all new games. DLSS gives you free FPS – this alone makes it future-proof for GTA 6.

7. Save KSh 50K vs RTX 4060 New Build: A new assembled PC with i5 12th Gen + RTX 4060 8GB costs 275K-295K. GT14 with RTX 3060 is only 10-15% slower but costs 60K less. You can use that 60K for a 27″ 165Hz monitor.
8. Premium HP Build Quality: You get HP OMEN case (worth 25K), HP motherboard with BIOS updates, and HP Gaming Hub. Assembled PCs use cheap cases that rust and break in 1 year.
