freshtec build uses named parts, you could do a little better but not much and you get a warranty with the whole build, not just the parts.

 

This is about the minimum I would buy.. though if the £500 is a hard limit then you can drop the SSD. Note, the board MAY need a bios update.. contact the supplier to check first or research one thats had it done already.

Honestly, prices are super weird in the UK. Here the R9 280x is about the same price as the GTX 960, but there it's way more expensive. Also the Z97 chipset board I included is cheaper than any h97 chipset board. Super weird. On the other side, that case is ridiculously cheap for what you get.
