I am making a budget PC for around $400 (including OS). Would this be a good build for that price range and what could I do to make it better?

this would give you a quad core cpu which might give the pc a bit more longevity. If you were actually looking to game on it you would need to spend a bit more and get a dedicated graphics card, but you would be spending more than $500 then.
