As the title says I'm looking for a laptop that comes with an i5 (either Broadwell or Skylake), 8GB of ram, a 500GB SSD, no GPU and a 1080p screen (preferably 17 or 15 inch).

If needed I could also buy a laptop with low storage and a 500GB SSD and just put it in there
 
15.6" HP Pavilion 15t Touch Laptop on sale for $530 (costs less than the non-touch version). Upgrade to a 1080p screen for only $20. Sorry... but you simply have deal with the 1TB HDD. But since the laptop will only cost $550, you can buy your own 500GB SSD drive, clone the HDD, and install the SSD. You can convert the 1TB HDD to an external drive.
