Hey guys, I'm building a PC around January and I need recommendations on parts. I require help because I have a budget of £500-£600 so I'm wondering if it's possible to build a PC with an i5-4670k within this budget. I'm not bothered about most of the parts but here are my must haves:

i5-4670k Haswell Processor
Samsung 120gb SSD
And obviously a LGA1150 socket mobo

All other parts I can upgrade in the future.

So, is it possible to build a gaming PC with this criteria and budget? SUGGESTIONS PLEASE!

I'm looking to be gaming on here and editing with photoshop. Games such as:
DotA 2
Heroes of the Storm (new blizzard moba)
Battlefield 4

(I apologise in advance if this is in the incorrect forum section)

I just built a system using the 4670k.

Parts:
ASRock Z87 Extreme4 LGA 1150
G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB
Sapphire 7870 GHz
500gb WD Black HDD
256 ADATA SSD
650w Seasonic PSU
CORSAIR Hydro Series H55
Antec 900 case
(Im sure im forgetting something)

I spent around $1000 USD i believe, but have a lot of rebates to process.

So it is doable. If you put down what you mostly want to play on this machine someone may be able to throw a build together for you!

Hard to do, here's a build without a GPU but with everything else, you can see that it takes almost all your budget:

This is a functional computer and the integrated graphics on the i5 can play games. Would I call it a gaming computer? No.

My point is, either you increase your budget or get another processor, or ditch the SSD in order to get a GPU.

Here's a build that I'd call a "gaming" computer, as you see, you have to make concessions in order to fill in your budget:
