You want to play with 3000 units on the battle at once? ouch, you're going to need some serious updating for that I think you'll need something like this:
Processor: your current one is very reasonable, not great, but good enough to run M2TW smoothly with 5000 units on the map. If you are going to upgrade this one, go for a dual-core processor with at least 4 Ghz. Avoid processors with many cores as Medieval 2 can only use one core.
RAM: 3 GB isn't too much, I'd suggest upgrading to 6-8 GB. Not really the most important upgrade though.
Graphics card: This is probably going to be the most important update. Your current video card is pretty weak. I don't know too much about videa cads though, but it shouldn't be too hard to figure out which ones are good

I know nothing about motherboards so I'll leave that to someone else

The processors you listed are quite old , so a dualcore i3 would be a better choice:

or an i5:

Graphics card I would recommend something like an ATI 5770 or 6770. About 6-8 gb DDR3 1333 Mhz ram.
