    @lukereees: Are you looking to get a monitor and operating system as well with that £400?

    I'd say get a good CPU along with a good motherboard, 8 GB's of RAM and a midrange GPU. As long as you have a good CPU, you can switch out your GPU much more easily for a more powerful one along the line. 400 pound sterling is cutting it very close.

    @lukereees: Not at all. Everything is pretty clearly marked and if you run into any problems there are a billion guides.

    Seriously, if you ever played with lego you're halfway there. And there's a ton of guides and videos to walk you through the process. This guy is pretty good at explaining the process, for example.
