I have a budget of £1000. I want a PC that can run games above 60fps without any struggle. But is also upgradeable along the way. If you guys could help me choose specs. I know nothing about specs etc. Please help!!

With current prices... thats a difficult ask.
Shortages and supply chain delays have pushed the prices up, and can mean long buildding delays for some specs. £1000 would be a squeese for a solid custom build even in better times, right now... it's near impossible.
Do you have anything already that might help? Copy of windows, storage drives, that kind of thing?
What monitor are you planning on, or have?

I don't really need to worry about a monitor. i know a friend is holding a 144hz one for me rn.

What resolution? The GPU needs to be paired to the monitor for gaming builds.

So, if I really squeeze it, i still cant hit the £1000 mark without starting to really kill upgrade potential

And if i'm really honest, I'd say you need to save up another couple of hundred, You can get a good starting build for £1200, that will run that monitor just fine at decent fps, just its an older gen. Realistically, I cant see anyway to squeeze a current model. Its tied a bit on storage, but you can easily add a Gen 4 M.2 SSD as a OS drive and improve from there as time goes by. The 850W PSU means you can go for higher spec GPU's later as well, and its modular so easier to work with.

You asked about small form, and it wont gain you anything, for a similar price to the above, you get less.
Small form also really limits your choices and you need to think more about cooling, a 3600 cpu will be fine with its stock cooler in the Lian Li Lancool II case above, but small form i'd be more cautious.
