It’s not fully true that most 120mm all-in-one coolers usually match the performance of similar air coolers, which are typically cheaper by about 50%.
I appreciate your assistance, and I’ll review everything carefully! Approximately, what frame rate would I achieve with this configuration?

Should thermal effectiveness improve, then cooling performance would also increase. The method by which a cooler operates is irrelevant; the only important factors are final temperatures and expense.
To advise the original poster and the advocate for a water cooler, I suggest reading the watercooling sticky linked in my signature. It’s been there since its creation and contains pro’s and con’s regarding water cooling. I strongly discourage recommending a 120mm AIO for any build unless specifically licensed, as it’s not a Tom'sHardware approach. @WackyHatter recently revised a colleague’s build on PCPartPicker, which is slightly more expensive but uses a smaller form factor and includes a chassis, along with two SSDs – one for the operating system and another for game storage. There’s room to upgrade components like cooling, PSU, and GPU later on. Here are three PCPartPicker lists:
Greetings, I've spent the entire day at the clinic, and I apologize for that.
I’m hoping to play games like Minecraft, Fortnite, The Elder Scrolls, and other expansive, single-player or first-person shooter titles. My preferred resolution is 1080p, with the ability to run at 4K if feasible.
Thank you.
If you’re considering those particular resolutions, a budget of approximately 2,000 to 2,500 Australian dollars will be necessary. Furthermore, I previously requested that you avoid listing game titles generically; instead, you replaced “etc.” with descriptions of open world and first/third-person shooters. However, the titles you mentioned previously shouldn’t require a powerful graphics card. It’s important to note that each game and its developer use different coding methods, which subsequently impacts how the system is taxed – therefore, we need to know precisely what games you intend to play.
