Processor and memory

The system centres on an Intel Core i5-13400F 2.50 GHz processor with 10 cores and 20 MB of L3 cache. It ships with 16 GB of DDR5 5600 memory in a 2 x 8 GB configuration across four slots, leaving two slots free for future expansion up to 192 GB total.

Graphics and storage

A GeForce RTX 4060 with 8 GB GDDR6 drives 1080p gaming and VR workloads, while a 1 TB M.2 NVMe Gen3 SSD provides the primary storage volume. The 650W 80 PLUS Gold power supply and B760 motherboard support the installed components without headroom for a second graphics card or higher-wattage GPU.

Operating system

Windows 11 Home 64-bit is pre-installed and activated, so the PC is ready to use immediately. Buyers who need a different OS edition or a licence-free build will have to reinstall or source an alternative licence themselves.

Questions about this item

How many DDR5 slots are still free for a future memory upgrade?

The board has four DDR5 slots total; two are occupied by the 8 GB modules so two remain open.

Will the 650 W 80 PLUS Gold power supply handle long gaming sessions with the RTX 4060 and i5-13400F?

Yes, the 650 W Gold unit provides ample headroom for the 8 GB RTX 4060 and 10-core i5-13400F under sustained load.

How loud does the ARGB CPU air cooler get when the system runs all day?

The single ARGB air cooler keeps the i5-13400F at low noise during extended use, with fan speed scaling to temperature.
