I ordered a new budget gaming pc and I got a pentium g4400, gtx 1050, gigabyte H110M-A, 8gb ddr4 ram, and a 1tb hard drive and a 400w evga psu. All I want to have is a clear yes or no answer if a 400w psu can handle this.

yes and no. PSU's can fail for various reasons. If you have too much draw, and your PSU can't handle it, it will crash/shut down. If your PSU barely has enough power, you may experience slow downs in performance from hardware parts in your PC. Age plays a part too, as after time the PSU just isn't as efficient as it used to be, which can lead to random crashes. And then finally, for any cheap PSU (and this is my opinion based anecdotally) which undoubtedly comes with cheap build components, they are much more likely to fail, than a Tier 1/2 PSU.

Look at this PSU tier list. It rates PSU's on their reliability, component choices, efficiency, build quality etc. You want to choose a PSU from the first two tiers. But they will be epxensive. If your not OC'ing anything then you could choose something from tier 3.
