At two and a half lakh, you are buying into the modern feature set: DLSS 3 frame generation, genuinely good ray
tracing, a terabyte of fast Gen4 storage, and a 10 core CPU that laughs at multitasking. This build does not just
run today’s games well; it is equipped for where games are going.
The heart of it is the RTX 4060 paired with the i5-13400F, a combination that dominates 1080p ultra and plays
seriously at 1440p with DLSS doing the heavy lifting. Every price below was verified from Pakistani sellers on
October 1, 2026.
Rs. 250,000 Gaming PC: Full Parts List
| Component | Our Pick | Price in Pakistan |
| CPU | Intel Core i5-13400F (tray) + Thunder Cyclone TAC-120 cooler | Rs. 43,500 – 46,500 + Rs. 5,499 |
| Graphics card | NVIDIA RTX 4060 8GB | Rs. 103,000 – 108,000 |
| Motherboard | MSI PRO B760M-P DDR4 (LGA1700, mATX) | Rs. 35,499 |
| RAM | 16GB DDR4 3200MHz (2 x 8GB) | Rs. 14,500 – 17,500 |
| SSD | Lexar NM790 1TB NVMe Gen4 | Rs. 24,990 |
| Power supply | XPG Pylon 650W 80 Plus Bronze | Rs. 14,500 – 15,500 |
| Case | Thunder ATX mid tower (tempered glass) | Rs. 10,000 – 12,500 |
The total: CPU plus cooler around Rs. 50,000, the RTX 4060 around Rs. 105,000, and the platform around
Rs. 102,000. Realistic total: Rs. 250,000 to Rs. 260,000. This is the first tier where the
honest total actually fits the headline budget.
Why These Parts
The Core i5-13400F steps up from the 12400F with
four extra efficiency cores, giving you 10 cores and 16 threads for around Rs. 43,500 to 46,500 tray. In games it
is a few percent faster than the 12400F, but the real win is everything around gaming: Discord, Chrome with forty
tabs, OBS, and background downloads all stop competing with your game. The Thunder Cyclone TAC-120 at Rs. 5,499
cools it without drama.
The RTX 4060 is the reason to spend two and a half
lakh. Pakistani pricing runs Rs. 103,000 to 108,000, and what you get is roughly 15 percent more rasterization
performance than the RX 7600 plus NVIDIA’s trump cards: DLSS 3 frame generation, which can nearly double frame
rates in supported games, superior ray tracing, and the best video encoder for streaming. At 1080p it is
untouchable; at 1440p with DLSS Quality mode it plays AAA titles at high settings smoothly.
The MSI PRO B760M-P DDR4 at Rs. 35,499 returns for
duty, and DDR4 once again saves about Rs. 15,000 versus DDR5 with negligible gaming difference. The storage
upgrade is significant: the Lexar NM790 1TB at Rs. 24,990
is a proper Gen4 drive with a full terabyte, so Windows, apps, and a real game library fit without juggling.
The power supply steps up to the XPG Pylon 650W Bronze, which Pakistani sellers list between Rs. 14,500 and
15,500 in stock. 650W gives comfortable headroom for this 300W system and for a future GPU upgrade. The case moves
up to a tempered glass Thunder model in the Rs. 10,000 to 12,500 range, because at this budget the PC sits on your
desk and should look like it.
Expected Gaming Performance (Approximate)
Conservative estimates; DLSS figures use Quality mode where noted.
| Game | Settings | Approx. FPS |
| Valorant | 1080p High | 280 – 400 fps |
| CS2 | 1080p High | 200 – 280 fps |
| PUBG | 1080p Ultra | 160 – 220 fps |
| Cyberpunk 2077 | 1080p Ultra + DLSS | 90 – 120 fps |
| Cyberpunk 2077 | 1440p High + DLSS | 65 – 85 fps |
| Alan Wake 2 | 1080p High + DLSS | 70 – 90 fps |
| Elden Ring | 1080p Maximum | 60 fps |
DLSS 3 frame generation is the story here. In supported titles it delivers smoothness that raw specs alone
cannot explain, and it is exclusive to the 40 series. This build is also an excellent streaming machine thanks to
NVIDIA’s NVENC encoder.
Upgrade Path
- Monitor: a 1440p 165Hz display is the natural partner. The 4060 drives it well with DLSS.
- GPU upgrade: the 650W PSU and B760M board support up to an RTX 4070 class card later.
- CPU upgrade: LGA1700 tops out at i7/i9 13th gen; the 13400F will not bottleneck anything up
to roughly an RTX 4070 SUPER. - Memory: 16GB suffices today; two empty slots wait if 32GB ever calls.
What This Build Avoids
We avoided the RTX 4060 Ti at Rs. 115,000 used to 133,000 new. It is only about 15 percent faster than the 4060
while costing 25 percent more, which is a poor trade at this budget. We also skipped DDR5 again, avoided 750W and
higher PSUs that add cost without benefit, and did not spec a liquid cooler the 13400F does not need.
- DLSS 3 frame generation: smoothness money cannot otherwise buy
- Excellent 1080p ultra and very capable 1440p with DLSS
- 10 core CPU handles gaming plus streaming and multitasking
- 1TB Gen4 SSD; no storage juggling from day one
- Honest total fits the Rs. 250,000 headline budget
- 8GB VRAM is the card’s known ceiling for future texture packs
- RTX 4060 Ti exists but its price to performance is worse
- DDR4 platform has no memory standard upgrade path
- Ray tracing at 1440p still needs DLSS help
- AMD alternatives offer more VRAM per rupee if you skip DLSS
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the RTX 4060 worth it over the RX 7600?
At a Rs. 12,000 to 15,000 premium in Pakistan, yes if you value DLSS 3, better ray tracing, and NVENC streaming. For pure rasterization gaming the gap is modest, so the 7600 remains the value pick one tier down.
Is 8GB VRAM enough in 2026?
For 1080p ultra and 1440p high with DLSS, yes today. It is the component most likely to age first, probably in two to three years as texture packs grow. That is the honest caveat on an otherwise excellent card.
Can I stream with this build?
Beautifully. The 13400F’s extra cores handle OBS alongside the game, and NVIDIA’s NVENC encoder produces clean streams with minimal performance hit. This is the tier where streaming stops being a compromise.
Why not DDR5 at Rs. 250,000?
Because the Rs. 15,000 it costs buys nothing you can feel at the RTX 4060 class. The day DDR5 matters for mid range gaming, you will be upgrading the whole platform anyway.
Should I buy the RTX 4060 new or used?
New. Used 4060 cards are still close to new pricing in Pakistan, so the warranty is worth the small premium. The used market makes sense for older generations, not current ones.
Buying Notes in Pakistan
The RTX 4060 is a card to buy new with a proper bill; the price gap between new and used units in Pakistan is
small enough that the warranty wins. For the rest of the build, reputable sellers in Lahore (Hafeez Center, Hall
Road), Karachi (Saddar, Regal), and Islamabad (Blue Area) stock every part on this list. Ask for the XPG Pylon
650W by model name, because some shops substitute a cheaper PSU of the same wattage, and confirm the Lexar NM790
is the 1TB Gen4 model rather than the smaller Gen3 NM620 wearing similar packaging.
The Rs. 250,000 build is where modern features join raw speed: a Rs. 250,000 to 260,000 machine
with DLSS 3, a 10 core CPU, a terabyte of Gen4 storage, and genuine 1440p capability. If your budget reaches this
far, this is the balanced build we recommend without hesitation. Full specs are on
NVIDIA’s official site.
