Total Computer Noob LF Help

[Rusken]

Hey Upgrade Forum, I'm looking to upgrade my computer for MoP so I can run it at least on High, the problem is I have no idea about these computer things. I got my current computer when my Brother upgraded his to some fantastical machine that could probably drive him to work if it needed to, but my current one is a good 3-4 years old and is probably getting a bit out of date.


I'm currently using:
Intel Core2 duo @ 3.00GHz
2GB RAM
Radeon HD 4800

I know all this stuff is crap. My question is what kind of comp would I be able to build with a $600 budget? Is the thing Chaud puts together entirely what I should go for? I'd like to know about some other options in the same price-range.

Any help would be awesome, as I said before I really have no idea when it comes to this stuff, my last 3 computers have been hand-me-downs from my brother, who's since moved out and is hard to reach :\

I'm having some trouble finding that Motherboard and Memory at places that are in/will ship to Australia, Newegg is only giving me an option to change State, which unfortunately doesn't help me.

Are there any other Motherboards/RAM around that range that might be easier to find?
