So, I want to get a gaming pc and with the help of some friends on some social networks, I decided to get this pc.

FX-4300
Motherboard - ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3
Seagate 1 TB HDD
4 GB RAM
Corsair 500W PSU
A 5000 monitor (Indian Rupees)

And here comes the tough part for me. When I get that pc, I will play games like Battlefield 4, Watch Dogs on 1378 x 768 or 1600 x 900. After a few months of having that PC, I will upgrade it to a very high end which has GTX 880 (still needs to be released) and other stuff. For a few months, I want to know if I should get GTX 750 or GTX 650 Ti or R7 265. I know that R7 265 is way better but the difference of price between GTX 650 Ti/GTX 750 and R7 265 is like almost 4000 INR. Is it worth it to get R7 265? I am gonna have that pc for a few months or GTX 750 would be good for now (considering that is cheap but powerful enough) until I upgrade my PC?

Also, what processor would be compatible with GTX 880? I don't want the processor to bottleneck.

Thanks for reading.
 
Firstly, you'll be better off w/ a Pentium LGA1150 or i3 instead of FX 4.

Secondly a R7 260X is like 9.5k and close to GTX 750 Ti's performance while being in a comfortable enough price range. R7 265 is better than 750 (and better than Ti too) but a more expensive, it all depends on what settings you're comfortable with. With 650 Ti or 750, you'll be comfortable on medium-high but with 265/ 750 Ti, you'll be good on high-ultra. 260X will be good enough on high-ultra while being <10k.

An i5/ FX 8/ i7 will be good enough for the higher end 800 series cards.

I can get a GTX 750 Ti by adding 500 Rs more if I were to get R7 260x. Also, Since the GTX 750 and the GTX 650 Ti are like 8.5k Rs. I am thinking of getting one of those two. Which do you think I should get?

Also, I can't afford processor as much as that. The highest price I can go in processor is like just Rs 6000. The FX-4300 being Rs 5600.
