Liking the look of this, are you able to swap the SSD for a hard drive and maybe also add a graphics card?

You can add an HDD as well if you want, but it'd be stupid to get an HDD instead of an SSD. Why would you add a GPU?

Just to add just incase I do plan to upgrade it in the future seeing as there was a bit of money left over. But thanks anyway! +Repped

You can add a GPU later if you want for sure, but it'd be totally pointless now, and an RX 460 is the best you'll fit in this budget.

Just add this HDD to the system I suggested if you really want;

Though you can get the system with the SSD first, then add the HDD later.

If you don't care for saving money, I'd maybe invest a little more in a better case but the Core 1100 is great for only £25. Something like a MasterBox Lite or N200 from CM would be still, a budget option, but better quality than the Core 1100. N200>MasterBox Lite 3>Core 1100.

Also, you can add a decent cheap cooler, like this;

It's nicer and quieter than stock cooler, and will provide better temps of course. The stock cooler will be sufficient though.
