So now we have two i5-13400f / RTX 4060 builds to compare: this one and the $1000 CyberPowerPC from Costco. The extra $150 buy you twice the RAM (DDR5 instead of DDR4 too) and twice the storage (32GB DDR5 + 2TB SSD). Plus Costco's support/warranty.
My take: Neither one is really a deal at these prices. With the Costco deal being $1000 regular price, this config shouldn't cost a penny over $850 anyway. And even then I'd just wait for the Costco PC to go on sale.
The visual settings on xbsx or s are equivalent to running it on low on your pc. My 3070ti barely gets 55 frames out of this game(on high). On medium I get about 75 constant. 1440p

Same. I'm averaging 40-60fps at 1440p on my 3070ti at High and 70ish on Medium. Your description was almost spot on perfect of my experiences so far.
Anyway even though this isn't "on sale" it does seem a pretty good price for a desktop with a 4060. However the Lenovo IdeaCentre Gaming 5i Desktop Intel Core i7-12700 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 16GB RAM 512GB is back in stock at Amazon for $729 and even though it's renewed, I think it's a better deal with the 3060 than this computer is with the 4060. I have two of those Lenovos already.

It's slightly less performance than a 3060 ti, for comparison (which I have). It runs "good enough". Normally I like to run games native, but this one needs to be at like 60% resolution and then upscaled just to be at similar fps to other open world games at native scaling. 4060 is amazingly more efficient though. Talking like 5-10 fps behind the 3060 ti, but a little over half the power draw. Not a bad setup.

While I agree with the pricing being normal, if you need it you need it.
The only thing I would bring up is that you will be hard up if any issues happen if you buy the Sky Tech pc. From personal experience, they will do all they can to weasel out of fixing anything that is broken and they don't do a great job assembling their prebuilt systems. It's not too hard to build your own PC for this price so I would consider that route and look into it.
