£500 Intel build - Possible?

Both are beautiful boards but for a £500 - £600 build it might be a bit pricey?

Well the CPU+mb is half /just over half your budget, ram for £50, GPU ~£150(or less I'd you go the b grade route). Leaves case + HDD(do you have a HDD you can reuse?).
Would most like be in the £600-£700 range rather than £500-£600.

I do have two other HDDs but they have stuff on them and I can't remember which was which as one only had games and a few files installed on it, so it would be nice to reuse that one but I need to find out which is which first
 
Another option is if you don't want to/can't go the 'full hog' 4670k route is go for the cheapest haswell CPU @~£150 then in the future upgrade to the 4670k/4770k or the updated versions of them as there's meant to be a die shrink/updated version in the next couple of years(similar to what we had with the sb to ib for the 1155 socket).

I'll scout around in the MM I think and see if anything pops up in there, it may save me a few ££
