basic gaming rig help

[CivilDrone]

Morning
i am trying put together a gaming rig for a mate of mine
its been a while since ive stopped playing around with pcs
would this do for basic gaming? wow, wot etc
any suggestions or improvements are welcome!

intel i3 4160
4x2gb crucial balistix 1600hz
asus r9 270x direct cuii oc
thermaltake core v1 mitx case
msi z87i ac mobo

what is the safest bet on psu? i was thinking along the lines of 400w bronze
storage will be 240gb ssd
Thanks

Thanks for a swift reply
Cant believe i've typed 4x2gb on ram.. suppose to be 2 sticks of 4gb
budget is roughly 300-400
better to get a branded psu? i dont think he will be upgrading at all
currently 270x directcuii is some price from the competitor

in the end decided to go with:
g3258, hopefully will oc to 4.0-4.5
7950 sapphire oc
z87i ac
aerocool xpredator cube
geil 8gb 1866hz
sandisk 256gb enterprise x110
aerocool 650w ap-pro psu
spent much less than intended as well
Thanks for all the help

mobo i got for just over 40 brand new, which is not a bad deal considering the features it has.
ive got a scythe shuriken lying around to replace stock cooler
psu is not the best choice i've made but wanted to try it out, can always swap if needed

PSU-wise, how does the following sound?
EVGA 500W 80 Plus Bronze Power Supply (100-B1-0500-KR)
Cooler Master B500 V2 80+ 500 Watt

depending on the bios, fingers crossed its the latest one
reading horror stories that you cant oc that cpu on the mobo, multiplier with lock itself
