will this build be able to run gta v and possibly ark?(my first one)

No. Not really. Get an i5 minimum. i5 4460 + MSI H81-P33 should be similar in price

The PSU is also shit. XFX XT series are not good like the other XFX units

Thx will it be able to run the games listed?

and I also have questions on how to install the os as I am pretty confused and can't seem to find much online

You can install a os from a usb stick. You can buy windows from microsoft and they will give you a download.

Get the Skylake i5 version for a few more pounds. Also, wait for the RX 480 aftermarket variants.

You can pre-order the aib cards on overclockersUK now.

>£199 Sapphire RX 480 Nitro+ 4GB

 

The RX 480 8GB aib's are between £239-259, right at the price range of some of the cheaper GTX 1060s.

You just subbed the PSU in my list with something way worse at the same price. If you bothered looking it's actually the XFX TS 650 Gold, not the XT Bronze.
