I'm looking to build a very low-power PC, and then upgrade it over time. I got a moderately powerful pre-built from Dell, but it's upgradability is horrible. Here are the parts I've selected, and I would just like to know if there would be any problems with putting it together.

Any tips/advice is also appreciated.
Thank you.
if you buy that computer you're not going to be upgrading anything on it
I don't recommend it

Why is that?
I'd also recommend getting a PSU of a better brand. You don't need to spend too much more at all.

To put it simply, trying to upgrade something on that computer above will require you to upgrade other parts along with it to keep it relatively balanced

What would you suggest I spend some extra money on (on the initial purchase) to ensure I can upgrade it later?
Well, since you have a decent, working computer already I say stick with it until you can come up with ~$600
but if you want some tips on your build above, I say get a better GPU, PSU, Case, Motherboard, and CPU, because to be honest they're all lacking, even for gaming at the low settings
I see nothing wrong with the motherboard if he's going to be using a single-(video)card setup.
Also the case doesn't affect performance so it is entirely up to him whether he wants it or not.
