£400 is tough to manage for something decent if you're going all new, can throw together something basic, but might have better luck looking at 2nd hand systems with 2nd or 3rd gen i5s in them throw in some extra ram, an ssd and a GTX 1050ti

Anything we can exclude like a monitor, peripherals, maybe Windows 10 if you know where to get it cheaply?
