Not much you can really do, its a dated unit which meant your gonna have to swap out everything CPU, mobo, PSU, RAM prolly can reuse... RM1.4k might not be enough, try:

i5 12400F
MSI Pro B660M-E DDR4
16GB 3200MHZ RAM (reuse if you have this spec)
MSI A650BN / FSP HV+ Pro 650W

A 3060 wont able to give you high settings (unless low demanding games) but what type of games you play, at what reso? High settings at what target FPS (depends on monitor too)? Just make sure its the 12GB version, not the Nvidia crippled 8GB unit or the chinese hackjob from laptop 6GB unit.

Wait that RM 1.4k, is that for GPU only or for the system you want to upgrade on top of the GPU?

A 3060 will give a boost definitely but likely will then be bottleneck by that 4core CPU. Considering the spec of your game, its okay I guess

Your budget. Can only get 8GB. Stuttering mess on some new games at 1080p.

Owh. Then stick to 3060 12GB, but faster get it. Your budget cant get any 40series worthwhile for gaming. And anything more powerful than 3060 will be worst bottlenecked by your dated system. Also your 500W PSU might need changing if its not from a known brandname. Budget around Rm240 for a decent PSU in my reco above.

AMD GPU also 8GB. RTX 3050 got 6GB version, be careful with it. Also, RX 6600 8GB is more powerful than 3050.

3060 8GB is still better than 3050 but both are poor buys if you ask me, the 3060 8GB selling for nearly same price as 12GB, and 3050 was overpriced for its performance ever since.

Your MOBO only support PCIe 3.0 while 3060 and 40 series is running on PCIe 4.0. So you won't fully utilize the actual performance. I suggest you to get 20 series (if still available).
