depends alot on where in australia you are from, but a really good australian price search engine is: www.staticice.com.au
use that to look up the parts that you decide on. Also, its hard for anyone to recommend parts for you without knowing what you are going to use the computer for? I'll give u a basic idea anyway for a cheap gaming rig (all the prices given are for WA, you should be able to find cheaper, depending on where u are):

CPU: AMD 5600+ X2 AM2 $115
Mainboard: Asus M3A78-EMH HDMI (integrated gfx card) $99
RAM: Kingston 2gb (2x1gb) DDR2 800 CL5 $56
GFX: MSI 9600gt OC edition $139
Case: Thermaltake Wing RS100 with 430W PSU $89
HDD: 250GB 3.5" SATA-II Seagate Hard Drive 16MB 7200rpm [ST3250410AS] $53

Total: $551

If you don't plan on gaming with it, then save some money and just use the integrated GFX on the mainboard.
