Im not really up on computer specs anymore, but 400w a couple of years ago would barely power an internet computer under load, and definetly not a gaming rig.
I find its worth buying a PSU that more than meets your requirements so it isnt constantly under massive load and spending a little bit more on a branded one for surge protection - this can save your important expensive ocmponents from going pop in a lightning storm etc

400w is more than capable than running a computer that is just going to be doing the odd bit of internet browsing 
I have a 350w PSU in my desktop and thats fine

I have a 250w in a server running 4 hard drives and a dual core processor. 400w is more than enough i would imagine.
