Wait a bit longer. You won´t get a value at all at that price...

If that's the highest you can go, get a PS4.

You need almost double that to run anything very well.

For a $400 build I would recommend the AMD Athlon x4 750k.

Its a good cheap quad core that can overclock a bit.

Wrong the 6300 is the best price to performance and it's like $5-10 more than the 41xx and WAY better also tomshardware sucks.

cpu boss sucks.cpubenchmark.net sucks . this doesn`t suck couse the line is pretty self explanatory. from an athlon x4 to an i5 . its legit

i swear ive watched a video of linus saying that the best value for a pc is around the 600-800 mark. I would just keep saving it will be well worth the wait

Plan your build as a whole and not part by part.

If you ever need help with a build, read the following before posting: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/
