This is one a friend of mine and myself threw together just yesterday for him. Prices might still be the same on Newegg. Plan involved him being able to upgrade to an i3 or i5 and an SSD for the main drive later on. Also all at the same vendor Newegg.

The DVD drive had another $5 instant and the GPU had a $30 MIR making it $343.93.

Actually the more the better. But it would be hard to get a really good gaming rig for just $400. Unless you want a crappy AMD. For a good gaming machine you want to spend at least $500-$550.
