Not on a netbook.
From the sound of your requirements be sure you get one with the ION 2. It's a much better option than the Intel video installed on other netbooks.

I think the only netbook that has a chance at gaming near that price is HPs dm1z, which is $450 on their website. It runs AMDs new E-350 Fusion APU and it does a passable job in a lot games, though not good still a great deal better then the Atom netbooks.
Edit: Found a review with it and Fifa 11.

55 fps on Low settings it seems. "Less demanding games, particularly FIFA 11, prove to be playable on a low setting." If you can manage that cost it will do everything you need.

Another lap top but it is not 400USD it is more like 650 USD is one I am looking at
here i am not getting it for gaming purposes (more for schooling reasons with added bonuses), but a dedicated video card definitely is a plus. Not to mention having a Quad core CPU with 4 gigs of memory upgradeable to 8 gigs
