i would use pcpartpicker.com you can get way better parts for cheaper. and also, go with 8gb ram, 2x4gb mem kit. and is your budget $500 plus the cost of a gtx 760?

That PSU won't work. You will need a 500 watt PSU to support the 760 GTX.

It's not normally suggested to buy a prebuilt computer for gaming. They tend to lead to headaches in the long run.

you would have to build it, but its not hard. just a couple youtube videos and you will be ok. you dont have to understand how or why things work, just where to pu them. and if you dont feel comfortable building it yourself, you can ask a tech-savvy friend or you can buy a prebuilt pc. but, you will save money building one yourself.

That is correct, you would need to buy a power supply as well in order to use the 760 GTX.

if you buy the pre-built one you showed us, then you need a psu for the gtx 760. and yes, if you do that it will work.
