I want a ten-ring broad sword. I can buy it in steps. So..
Master work nine-ring broad sword = 315g
The +1 enhancement = 2000g
Once I get 27 Fame I can upgrade to a +2
The +2 enhancement = 6000g
At 31 fame I can go the rest of the way
Ten-Ring abilities = 6000g
Now just to be clear I cannot now upgrade this sword to a +3 because we cannot upgrade named items and that’s what this is now.

While you've got the jist of upgrading items (with the exception of some price errors as pointed out above), you can't upgrade into the ten-ring sword as far as PFS goes.

I don't believe you can upgrade an unnamed magic item to a named magic item.
Yes, you can. See this FAQ.
Can I Upgrade a Named Magic Item?
Named magic items—including specific armor and specific weapons—are not upgradeable. Non-magic specific armor and specific weapons may be upgraded normally. Magic armor and weapons may be upgraded to named versions if they are the same basic material and shape as, and meet but do not exceed the enhancement bonuses of the named versions. Wondrous items whose names include a +X value (such as bracers of armor, headband of vast intelligence, amulet of might fists, etc.) may also be upgraded following the rules for upgrading magical items on page 19 of the Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play.
Upgraded versions of named magic items may appear on Chronicle sheets.
Intelligent magic items are not available for purchase unless they appear on a Chronicle sheet or are provided as part of a class or archetype (such as the black blade magus archetype).

Sometimes Mike and I find one or more character options that we believe would do well if limited to a Chronicle sheet, such as what has happened with several types of familiar; it's nice to have the items listed on the sheet have significance and value. I believe the ten ring broadsword is one such item, though I don't believe it has ended up on a scenario Chronicle sheet as of yet. I have an inkling that it might have shown up on an Adventure Path Chronicle sheet.

Ah. It has been too long since I looked at the FAQ, and apparently I forgot which way it went.

Actually, the "inkling" mentioned above is not an expression of my love of strategic understatement. I have not gone looking through the Chronicle sheets searching for this item, and I wouldn't recommend the practice.
That said, I now know that at least one person is itching to find this on a Chronicle sheet. That reminds me to consider this item for a future Chronicle sheet.

Why is this sword so good? Dont get me wrong, I realize an extra ring slot is really cool. But for the price, I thought it would be better just to have a +3 weapon. Guess that still leaves Adamantine DR to try and bypass. Is that the biggest upside?

Legal or not, I might also suggest waiting until you can afford a +1 weapon entirely rather than paying to get something masterwork then upgrade it.
By purchasing a +1 weapon (or anything made of a special material), it will already be treated as masterwork and save you some gold.
If it's just a normal magic weapon, you have to buy the normal masterwork weapon before it's enchanted regardless of if it's upgrading a weapon you've been using or buying new.
