Do yourself a favor and don't bother trying to budget something as low as $400. I'm sure you can probably get close to ultra settings and it be playable, but you're going to be sacrificing far too much to make it acceptable imo.
It's going to put a budget computer like that into extreme stress and heat overall just to run a single program. I have no idea why some are saying NXT doesn't use many resources, because it uses even more than before especially on ultra with farthest distance; it's just that the process of what's being used is different. Multitasking is out the window completely. In the electronic world, there's a reason there's a few main brands. Very few off-brand companies have the resources to make safe, quality products; despite how they may rival in performance at the start.
The necessary parts you need are:
motherboard, cpu, power supply, monitor, hard drive, ram, an OS, and a keyboard/mouse
Never cut the power supply short, I've seen cheap psu's explode and melt systems. Trust me it's not worth it to save a few dollars.
You can cut corners and not get:
Gpu isn't necessary unless you get a cpu that doesn't have integrated graphics.
Cd drive isn't necessary unless you use a usb port for installing windows.
Computer case isn't really necessary to be functional. You wouldn't need fans either with an open setup as the heat wouldn't be confined to the case and heat up.
