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.
Do you think the 3060 is preferable because it has more memory?

Can it "run" it? Sure. Will it be an enjoyable experience? Probably not especially.
I've an ASUS ROG rig with a 3080 in it, which defaults settings to Ultra in Starfield. Until they do some heavy patching nVidia cards in general are going to lack quite a bit. Even on low with my 3080 the game is constantly freezing up, and there are audio issues abound. Very frustrating and completely destroys any immersion to be had otherwise.

Not to discredit your experience. But im running it on a 3070 with just a ryzen 5 2600x and I haven't had any issues really. It might just run at 40-50 with mostly high settings but it has been doing great. Heck even my Alienware laptop with a 2060 runs it fine. Isn't as pretty as I'd like though.

Glad it's working for you but it's not a niche experience for the game to run poorly on Intel/nVidia based systems which greatly exceed system requirements.

From my experience they use Gamdias 80+ gold psus, Asrock motherboards, gigabyte GPUs, adata memory with heatsink on it, and MSI SSDs. Not the best assortment of parts

The 4060 alone is about 35% of the budget.
Maybe if you skimped on the case and PSU.
