What's the issue? Looking for gaming rig for my kid. Debating on building but prices are all over the place thinking it may be better to just buy prebuilt.

You can still build better

For gaming, at this price point, CPU is overkill and GPU not ideal. I think there were a couple deals with the same GPU at around $900 price point.

OK so I'm looking at Ms flight simulator, fusion and other cad. Is this the wrong direction to be going?

This card will hit its head on 1440p Ultra for demanding titles, if you're aiming for 60fps or above. 1080p ultra would be 'fine' for >60fps with some decent latitude. Tom's GPU charts are still a good reference point to start with: https://www.tomshardware.com/revi...,4388.html
The comment about imbalance is mainly that, with a 5060Ti, you could drop the CPU tier down a notch or two and not lose much/anything on titles that aren't highly CPU demanding (i.e. vast majority of games, including AAA titles). It's not a 'bad thing', per se, just that someone building a system could spec the CPU down a bit and use that money to the try to level-up the GPU, yielding a better performing computer (for gaming) at the same/very similar price point.

at what resolution and quality settings, for MSFS? Those details matter, if looking for advice.

I see. He's mostly doing modded Minecraft, Kerbel, and Meta VR casted games while making YouTube videos. Trying to find a balance of around 1500 that'll future proof him a bit without going crazy on spiking memory prices.

This is a bit of a generalization, but for around $1500 I'd look at roughly something with RTX 5070ti or RX 9070XT. Ideally with 32GB RAM at that price as well. I'm sure others would be happy to chime in.

If you want the broad strokes, it sounds like you'd need a CPU with good single core performance (ideally a 7800X3D or 9800X3D, but generally speaking you probably don't need more than 8 cores unless you have money to burn), and a good GPU if you play MSFS at a higher resolution (recommendation depends on the resolution you'd play, but higher the res = better the GPU recommended).
In other words, yeah this is the wrong direction. This has more than necessary number of cores and less than ideal GPU performance at this price point.

From what I've read, 8gb is too low for a modern GPU. If you want great graphics you should be looking at 12 or maybe 16gb vram.
