-Eyepro
-Bought a G&G cm16 raider at badlands paintball on a sale ($160) and batteries
-Bought 2 midcaps, a valken m90sp spring, sling, smart charger, and a reflex sight all on amazon/aliexpress
-looked at youtube and gearbox animation and did the spring change following a tutorial
I recommend you buy a new gun, more pew pew and less tinkering, over time you'll learn how the guns work and you'll me more confident to tinker with a used one.
If you are not mechanically inclined, a gun with quick spring change or split gear box (i.e. ICS) would be good.
You don't need to buy everything now you can build it over time when you find out what gear you really want. I guarantee half of the stuff from that deal will end up under your bed collecting dust a few months in.

Or you could do what I did and paid $150 for a g&g mp5 w/ Cobra sight and 8 mags from someone off ASC...
Damn thing came with 2 grips and wires to deals already. The only thing I had to do was rewire it which can be a big problem for beginners.
In airsoft there's no such thing as tinker-free. You have to downgrade the spring on a gun new out of the box if it's shooting hot. Best thing to do is buy a lightly gamed package for under $300 off ASC and spend the remaining $100 on eye protection and maybe a vest. Either way with your considered budget of $400 I'd recommend you get quality and not quantity.
CA isn't the best top quality gun but with your WE g18 it can last you a good year of airsoft before both break. Best to get your money's worth paying for something lightly used already upgraded to save you the headache that will last you at least 2x longer.
Unless you're into teching then go nuts.
