New Gaming PC build

Hey everyone. It's now time for me to build a new computer. You guys were so helpful with my last last build in 2006, therefore i am consulting you all once more. Now one thing...

I LIVE IN AUSTRALIA

Last time i got all these Newegg replies, which were great deals if only i could buy from there.

It's been awile and technology has kind of swept by me.... so i may ask some questings theat appear stupid so be patient with me.

Budget = $1000 AUS (not too strict) Prefrebly form this Aussie website www.techbuy.com

Currrent setup. (pile of crap)
Case: Antec Solution series
CPU: AMD Sempron 1.8Ghz
MOBO: ASROCK K8NF4G Sata2 (i think)
RAM: 1GB corsair 400Mhz Ram (2x512)
PSU: Vantec Ion2 460W PSU
HDD1: 360GB Western Digital 7200rpm SATAII
HDD2: Samsung 80GB HDD 7200rpm SATAII
Graphics Card: 6600GT (reciently upgraded to 7600GT second hand $50)
Monitor: 19" BenQ LCD 1440x900 res
(might have missed something...)

New Setup Questions:
  1. AMD or INTEL? Last time i was paying attention INTEL was the leader on best value for money...
  2. Do i want or need an SLI motherboard?....
  3. Should i upgrade my HDD.... it's around 1.5 years old...
  4. I am thinking about upgrading the graphics card again but only if my budget allows... if so should i.. if you understand what i mean.
  5. What PSU do i need (depending on the setup)
  6. What can i keep from my old build? I'm keeping the monitor, i have a keyboard and mouse.
