Try using PC Part Picker and this is what I'd do-

This PC will stomp that PC any day- with this PC you'll be able to max out any modern title at 1080p and maybe even 1440p. The PC you have picked out will hit medium / high settings at 1080p and low settings at 1440p.

The thing is that I don't know how to build a PC I just know how the certain parts work. Not how they go together. This is the only website I know of were I can pick what I want to go into the pc

Mate it's not hard. If Linus's kid could do it you can too . . . Lots of helpful YouTube guides available.

Maybe you should learn how to put the parts together... it is easy.

Its honestly pretty easy. Just follow the guides online!

Don't pull the kid card on me. I don't even know what kind of wires I need. I could probably build it, but I don't know the little things I need

[Killervolt]

Guides everywhere.

You need a screwdriver and maybe a bowl to put your screws in.

Would it make a difference if I switched

Memory to Kingston HyperX Fury Black 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866

And

Graphics card to EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB DDR5

If you switch the graphics it'll make a massive difference, the R9 390 I suggested is multiple times better than the 750ti. But if you switch the ram there will be no difference.
