Sister looking to build - budget of ~US $1300 (self.buildapc)

Hello all. My sister is looking to build a new PC. I've been out of the game for a while now so just want to make sure I'm giving her good advice. She's built before a while back so I just want to make sure she's getting her money's worth this round.

She wants a decent PC for the release of Starfield.

I put this list together below, it's a little more expensive, but I'm just wondering what we could change that would still be good. I know she's wanting to stick with Intel, but we're open to AMD parts if the performance would be similar/better.

Thank you for any advice!

I think your choices are overall good, but the RTX 3060 Ti with its merely 8gb of VRAM might have some limitations when it comes to Starfield. We don't know, but we have seen VRAM limitations in some recent titles. Personally, I think the RX 6700XT might the better option.

I think this should perform the same as your build, but it will save you some money.

My bad, I included the RX 6700 instead of the 6700xt. The xt is what I recommend https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LtMGv3
