I haven’t tried starfield yet, but it looks interesting and I suspect I could run it at lower settings since I’m pretty sure it runs a modified Skyrim engine and Skyrim runs just fine.

Totally with you on older games on high discount. I picked up Metal Gear Rising Revengence for super cheap last year and that game is almost a decade old. I think the older rig has really helped maintain discipline to wait out the hype till games are older and I can enjoy them at a much lower cost.
