Dell is your best best, keep an eye on the offers.
Although I agree Dell would probably be the best bet for that budget, I'm not sure if it will meet the criteria with regards to its upgradeability. It all depends on what you intend to upgrade. If it's a new video card, sound card, optical drive then that should be ok but if it's a new power supply, motherboard or processor you may run into problems (or difficulties).
What are you going to be using the PC for? Just basic office stuff?
For £350 inc monitor you'll find it very very tight/impossible
A cheap dell would be the best option, but they are not so upgradeable.
Have a look at some of the Dell Vostro 200s, you can get very good deals on them from time to time.
Depends what you want out of a PC and wether or not you want to upgrade in the future. If you want to upgrade then you are better off not going with DELL.
Again depends on what he means by upgrade.
If he means sticking in a new motherboard then forget it as dell cases are designed for there non standard motherboard layout.
However if he means sticking in another stick of memory, an extra hard drive or a new graphics card then it's generally not a problem.
We really do need more details/info.
