I'm in the market for a new gaming PC and I have a budget of 2500 AUD. My current setup has a GTX 745, which seriously struggles even with games like Terraria. I'm looking for recommendations on a new build that offers great performance for that price range. Any suggestions?

- RAM: 32GB DDR5-6000, brands like Corsair or G.Skill would be a good choice.

I’m not into super hardcore games, so would it be fine to use air cooling for this build?
