Hello I would like to build my first PC preferably under 600aud. I live in Melbourn and the closest hardware shop is umart (http://www.umart.com.au/newsite/). Also if someone could find a easy instruction/check list to building one. I know the basics of building a Pc but Im sure I'm going to make a mistake. Thanks!

Can't really get much cheaper without sacrificing a lot of performance or quality, unless you find a deal, find second hand parts, or have a look at different retailers. PSU is alright, with a platform of Seasonics GB Bronze, the same as s12ii. They're alright, however very old and are group regulated which downgrades stability.

To know what to upgrade depends on the reason you will upgrade, or the issue you experience. For example, if your FPS is below your desired performance goal, changing resolution won't help it, and CPU usage near 100% you'd want to upgrade the CPU.
If your PC isn't performing to your FPS desire at the graphics settings you prefer, you'll want to upgrade the GPU.

PCPartPicker's compatibility check will tell you which CPUs will work. Any using a LGA1151 socket will work. Keep in mind Intel unlocked CPUs (the ones with a 'k on the end) will not be able to overclock on that board.

The next worthwhile CPU upgrade would be straight to an i5 or above.

The g4560 has two physical cores however includes hyperthreading so the operating system sees it as 4 logical threads. It's still a powerful CPU, better performance than a lot of the old FX AMD CPUs which use a lot more than 2 cores.

But, I won't stop you going for the i5, as long as you have the budget for it.
