Here is an AMD approach, and it has a stronger APU than the intel builds, but I'm not sure about single core perfomance but it will be good for a fast everyday computer.

Glad to see a fellow Aussie.

Try PCPartPicker. I don't wan't to sound mean tell you to just go on the site. But this is because I am about to go to sleep now. Sorry I do apologise for that.

But what you will need for a basic everyday computer:
CPU: Try the Pentium G3258 or i3-4130.
Motherboard: A H97 motherboard will do.
RAM: 8GB will do from Corsair, G.Skill or Kingston.
HDD: Seagate or WD (You choose the size you will need p, I recommend at least 1TB).
SSD: Maybe a small 60GB one for the Windows. But this is not essential unless for faster boot time.
GPU: The integrated will do.
PSU: (Try to add what you think will fit your budget and I will see if it is suitable).
Case: Any case to your liking.

P.S. I'll be back tomorrow morning so sorry for the inconvenience.

That's why he recommended the PC part Picker site. It automatically filters for compatability. And it will warn you if you have parts that don't work together. :)

The build he has in mind will be a good one. I don't want to steal his thunder so I'll let him post the final details when he returns. ;)

sorry to be annoying, but just questions.
Why not the Core i3-4150 instead of the core i3-4160 i understand its .1 ghz faster; But does that really show much differnce in performance to save a few more bucks?

Yes you could. Or like I said in my first post try the Intel Pentium. Dual Core but it doesn't have hyperthreading (used more in editing, not needed in a basic everyday build). And the advantage is it is cheaper and you can overclock it.

I can add the graphcis card if you are gaming too.

Yes just connect it to the TV. This case may not be your taste, which I absolutely understand. You have to get rid of Windows. Because this is the cheapest I can get.
