Please Spec: Workstation Required - £500 budget

[kagg8]

Hi,

Been a while so not up to date to the latest specs and bang for buck components. Would appreciate some help in speccing a system for use on 2/3 screens for photoshop, autocad and other graphic softwares.

Have seen a prebuilt system on fleebay for £499 which has Intel Haswell Quad Core i7 4790k, 16GB RAM, 1TB HDD USB3.0 etc which would be perfect but does not include a dedicated gfx card (1/2gb would be fine) and an SSD (120ish GB is also fine) so thought I could possibly build one myself and with the saving add the gfx card and ssd - is it possible on my £500 budget?

Or will I be forced to go AMD? Please advise, thanks.
