Windows Cannot br installed on this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems Windows can only be installed to GPT disks, just finished building a PC and received this message anyone can help me find solutions?

Convert the disk to GPT.
Before conversion the disk must be empty, so if you have any data on it, then make a backup first.
You can perform those commands from windows installation environment. Press Shift+F10 to bring up command prompt window.

• diskpart
  list disk
  select disk x
  (x - disk number, probably 0)
  clean
  convert gpt
  exit
