What is your budget and currency? $500 USD
Do you need a monitor? Yes
Do you need a keyboard? No
Do you need a mouse? No
Do you need an operating system? No
What will you use the PC for? Gaming mostly COD (including BO3) csgo, battlefield, Star Wars battlefront, and newer games down the road (I will obviously upgrade later on).

Don't expect to be maxing out things left and right but this will do until you can upgrade. If you didn't need a monitor it would be a lot better [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

I'm not worried about maxing just at least medium to high on most of my games. Thanks for helping by the way.

No problem. You will have no problem running games at medium settings with that

No not really interested and to lazy to research on how to do it. I'm still pretty new to PC building/gaming.

That's a terrible suggestion. Do not build that. Here;

It's a reference 760, which isn't great but the 760 will out-perform an R7 370/265, which is your next best option. 370/265 is still better than 750Ti btw.

Cheaper, less powerful option.

Thanks, but what are the incompatibilities? Or are they incorrect?

Ignore them. Just use a molex to 6-pin PCIe to power the GTX 760 if you go with that rig. Also, ask wherever you purchase the motherboard from to update the BIOS for you.
