Good Processor for $500-600 Build?

[Garrzilla]

This PC will be used for Photoshop and similar programs, not really gaming. I'm currently looking to get the i5-4460 for $175. Could I get away with less?

If you tone down the GPU more than this, you could probably get the i5

Nice, thank you

You could probably get a Xeon 1231 v3 with hyperthreading and a GTX 950 if you're not really gaming for about $600.

 

EDIT: Voila
