Not the greatest graphics card but dependant on what games you want to play and the size of your monitor then it should be fine at medium/ possibly high settings.
Is this a private buy or from a retailer?

Your budget of 400 quid is very tight for a gaming rig and I do not think that you will be able to any better than the PC you have mentioned not forgetting that you will need to add £70+ for an operating system on top.
But let me give it a little thought and I will post back if I can come up with a decent alternative.

Definitely halve the RAM as it is unlikely that you will ever get remotely close to using any more than 8GB.
I would advise a minimum of 500W for your PSU but 550W would be better and do not buy a cheapo PSU always buy a decent brand as you will get the quality and power consistency modern components need.
I notice your selection is priced in dollars,I take it you are not in the UK?
