I need a good, cheap, upgradeable computer!

[Pollis]

I'm an idiot, sorry!
I'm looking for a computer, preferably under 500$, and is decent enough, not built-in graphics please. I would buy something from newegg, but I don't know what brand, or what to look for, or any of that.

I want one that I can upgrade in the future, if that's at all possible.

I know I could just build one, but I don't have the time, nor the money to do so.

Umm, hmm. I'd say you're best bet (other than building, say, this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2feLm) would be to buy an i3 pc off amazon for ~400 to $450 then add in a 7750. Like this, http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-H530s-57321112-Desktop-Black/dp/B00EQ07W6U/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1386213835&sr=1-4

The reason for this is because as soon as it is claimed as a 'gaming pc', prices jump about $200 of their actual value. A 7750 requires no extra power cord, and is powerful enough to play most games on med settings, at least. So that would probably be your best course of action.

Do not get that PC, it's too small to really do anything with. Look for at least a mid-tower computer, something like this http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-IdeaCentre-H520-Desktop-Black/dp/B00E1HLPZW/ref=pd_sim_sbs_pc_5 or http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lenovo-ThinkCentre-M92p-i5-3470-3-2GHz-8GB-1TB-Windows-7-Professional-Warranty-/281221296741 or http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-XPS-X8300-Desktop-Core-i5-2310-2-90GHz-6GB-RAM-1TB-/300902722495?pt=Desktop_PCs&hash=item460f332bbf

Keep in mind those are just examples, look around for different ones.

I will get a lot of hate for this. I hate this company. But, Alienware have a decent Work machine for $500 that can run Minecraft. To be honest for 500 bucks you are scraping borderline nothing. Very customisable! I would recommend you hold off as this amount is not a lot and can't get much. A $400 PS4 will be better than a $500 build. Hope it helped!
