Is a 5080 with 32 gb ram good enough for most things?

I don’t need to be on the cutting edge of anything. I just want to be able to do standard gooner image and video generation at a decent pace. Right now I use a 2025 Macbook Air, and using Qwen to edit an image takes about 2 hours. Forget about video generation. So is the computer I described good enough? Also, I’m tech illiterate, so plz break down anything I need to understand like I’m 5. All I need is the desktop (around $3000), a monitor, and keyboard, right? I’m a laptop guy. Also, is RAM the same as VRAM? Asking cuz I only see a ram specified.
