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!

If she wants a PC for starfield the best option would be to wait closer to release. Both AMD and nVidia are doing big sales and reducing prices now and this is likely to continue until nextgen so they clear stock up. Also at release you will be aware of performance problems and you may need a stronger build than the minimum reqs suggest.
