Default I don't know what to look for in a computer...

I'm looking to buy a new desktop computer since it's been about 8 years since my last one, and about 5 years since I bought my laptop (which I'm giving away soon anyway). Unfortunately, I don't know what to look for. Naive-me normally goes with bigger numbers, but I'm quite certain that's most definitely the wrong and stupid thing to do when looking at things such as graphics cards and such.

I don't want to build a computer from scratch (you might say it's easy and whatnot, but I will most likely fuck it up. I'd rather pay an extra hundred or so for labour and have someone professional to do it (i.e. pay for a built up computer).

I've been looking around, and this is probably one of (if it isn't) the cheapest website to buy computers in my area. You should note when looking at the prices that things are often a tad more expensive here in Australia, when compared to countries such as the USA.

This computer is currently the most preferred one on the website for me. Unfortunately, there isn't much information about the hardware and components because it all depends on what's in stock when you go in to buy it. I was wondering if anyone could help guide me as to what to look for. Different brands or functions? # MHz, # GHz? - it's all a foreign language to me...

I'd appreciate any help you can provide. Thank you.

P.S. This is probably my second option if the above was an absolute horrible option.
