My friend who is new to pc gaming is looking for a new pc but only wants to spend a max of $400. I do not really know of $400 is possible considering how expensive all the parts are now but he is willing to give it a shot.

This is as low as I'd ever go. You could shave some more off by getting a real POS case.

What does this $400 need to include? Do you already have any parts that could be used?

There are some pretty cheap barebones AM4 builds possible. But if you need an OS, peripherals, monitor, etc then probably not within reason.

He already has a mouse, keyboard, monitor and the OS can be gotten fairly cheap all he needs is the pc itself.
