I think i would go for something like this,
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks
CPU: Intel Core i5-3340 3.1GHz Quad-Core Processor (€156.89 @ Amazon Deutschland)
Video Card: PowerColor Radeon R9 280X 3GB TurboDuo Video Card (€239.90 @ Caseking)
Total: €396.79
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

The r9 280X is already a hughe step forward compared to the hd 6450.

I don't want to upgrade again next in the couple years, gpu wise. the 280 is already 2-3 (?) years old. I want to keep playing AAA games for the next 5(?) years or so. won't a 290 be the better choice then? I play on a 1920x1080 resolution and I don't intend on going higher than that since I have no interest in surround gaming.

if you do not want to bottleneck the gpu...i think is better to add a more powerful cpu
so cpu + gpu for 400 euro ? ....but you can upgrade the gpu only by buying a killer gpu and buy later a new cpu ? all depend on you
like this gpu here

With all those extra components is €400 not enough.
For the motherboard would the next already be good,

Without crossfire would the next psu already be good enough imo,
http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/256249/seasonic-s12ii-br...
or,
