Extremely Cheap but upgradable

Welcome to the Forum!

What will the PC be used for?

When you say 'super upgradable' what are you looking to upgrade in the future?
 
Well, anything is upgradable. It depends on what you define as being the PC.

If you build a system from parts you can technically infinitely upgrade it. The case for my PC is getting on for 10 years old now. It's seen maybe 6 motherboards, 10 graphics cards, 8 or 10 CPUs etc in it's time.
 
 
Okay so I don't know how to post the basket so its not a mess but hopefully you'll get the idea £300 is quite a tight for a gaming build if you could save up a bit more it would help anyway my contribution. If anyone could tell me how to post a basket it would be appreciated looked for it myself and couldn't find anything I've got a feeling its going to be really obvious.

Something like this, which I think Chris covered above. Can be upgraded with a better graphics card, has fast memory to compliment the APU for onboard graphics for now. Decent brand PSU/maybe the 500W version would be better, B grade HDD to keep within budget but can again be upgraded within time.
 
Thanks Ripjaw can start trying to help with builds now, really enjoy spec'ing builds just wish I had the money to build them my house would be full.
 
^^ I know the feeling mate lol. I have to say i dissagree with the guys going for the trinity build dont get me wrong there fab for a budget but offer little to no real futer investment (untill newer cpus come out) as your stuck with the trinity cpu with those mobos' At least going with a AM3 build you can if you wish upgrade the cpu to an 8 core piledriver for eg and then upgrade the ram to 1600 then the gpu. But its all personl preferance and the joys of differing oppionions ;) I've the same cpu as above and plan on getting the 6core pile driver in july to hold me over untill my big build :) Good luck dude.
