I need help finding parts to build a computer for about $350. The parts need to be able to be upgraded in the future when I have more money.

EDIT: I already own a monitor, keyboard, mouse and OS
 
Solution
Can you go $385? Eventually this one can even overclock.

Keep the Memory & HDD from previous post. This should leave you in a better position for the future - more upgrade potential & more powerful/efficent cpu's available. Next stop once you have $100 or so spare should be a dedicated GPU. What you require will depend upon the monitor's resolution, desired detail settings & desired amount of post-processing you wish to add to make it look prettier/smoother. a decent starting point for a full-hd screen with high detail settings would be around the HD 7850 / 650Ti Boost. Good luck.
