or something else ?

The 4690 will give a minimal performance increase over the 4570 so isn't worth it. £40 isn't enough to upgrade CPU anyway.

is there something I should upgrade on it, For example Im able to get a 128gb SSD Hard Disk & 1TB HDD Instead of just one HDD.

You won't get a 128GB SSD for £40. You could maybe get a 60/64GB SSD if you wish.

Nah man my budget on PC Specialist is 800 GBP, I don't wanna hear that building your own PC is better value for money, I KNOW it IS. Regardless Im trying to build the best possible PC on PC Specialist for 800GBP. As I don't have to pay the full price, I will only be paying the price excluding VAT which is around 650 GBP.
