A friend of mine was trying to sell a computer he has for 400$ and I was wondering if anyone had any incite as to if it was a good gaming rig or not. Thanks to anyone who tries to help.

Looks to me like a great budget build.

This is actually a decent setup. At $400, I think it's pretty worth since it can still play most modern titles.

One more thing actually, would I be able to upgrade the graphics card at a later time to something more recent like a 980 or something?

You can but based on the CPU and RAM, you may face some bottle-necking (Not full utilization of card). Maybe a 970 would be more of your interest since prices are dropping left and right.

Looks like a good starting point.  Things to consider are 200GB+ SSD boot drive and a newer generation mid range GPU.  1050/1060 may be around the corner and the 480 looks promising for the price if the power situation is resolved.
