I've put together a list of parts which are all compatible, and within your £600 budget. The build below should run Battlefield 4, DayZ and most, if not all games with ease closer to high/ultra graphics at 1080p.

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1230 V3 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor (£179.99 @ Aria PC)
Motherboard: ASRock Fatal1ty H97 Killer ATX LGA1150 Motherboard (£55.99 @ Amazon UK)
Memory: Crucial 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (£58.99 @ Amazon UK)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£35.94 @ Aria PC)
Video Card: XFX Radeon R9 280 3GB Double Dissipation Video Card (£151.54...
look at the 750ti or the 7770/r270/r280 cards for the build. for the cpu and mb you can look at the x760 or the g3258. cpu. if you have more funds look into an i3 or an i5. on amd side look at there 8000 cpu. if the cosair 300r case is cheap near you pick one up it not a bad case for the money.

All you have to do is buy the parts above and then build your system once the parts arrive. I've selected all the components for you above, however you can always change any component to your heart's content. With the build above, I've included the Xeon E3-1230 v3 processor; which performs similarly to the i7-4770 yet whilst more affordable. I've also bundled 8GB RAM, a R9 280 graphics card and a 550W XFX (OEM SeaSonic) PSU.

All the best. :)
