Hey guys, new here so first post, I was just wondering if there was any advice about my build before I go forth with purchasing it in the near future.

Budget isnt that great(max £700[$900]) as I am a student working only 12 hours per week(max) so any advice or changes to my build would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
 

I would either suggest a kit of 4 x 4gb ram or a 2 x 8gb kit it costs only about $10-$20 more and will help with memory intensive tasks

I have an Anet A8 as my project printer and a i3 MK3 for when I want things to work. 

 

I extrude my own filament and haven't saved a penny yet.

This is a really good start imo. The GTX 950 isn't a great card but if you buy an SLI motherboard (something like this?) and put another 950 in later the performance is comparable to a GTX 970, which is nice. You don't need a Z97 motherboard but if you're getting an SLI motherboard you basically have to get Z97 anyways. CX500W PSU isn't great so I would swap that out with something else (make sure it has enough cables to support 2 way SLI!)

why 4x4 ? and this is the Uk so 16gb is quite a bit more

Also get the i5 4460k version of that processor  so you can do a basic oc. Also I would use a better gpu like the AMD R9 390 costs more but it should still be inside your budget

Faster with less load on each stick. I would go 4 x 8gb but I don't know if you really need that

More load on the IMC as well, better to go with 2x 8gb than 4x4 gb.

You can go k series CPU and and AMD 390, but with 1x 8gb stick (add another later) and ditching the SSD (add when you have the money) also a more budget case

Da crap....

First you say 4x4 or 2x8, and 4x4 isn't worth it, then you talk about the 4460k, something that doesn't exist....

I'm very confused

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

 

Do this:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

This looks awesome except maybe consider 2x4gb.

It shouldn't make much of a difference in most games, but you never know. It doesn't cost too much more.

Also a better PSU.

This. Only thing I'd change is RAM, cause Skylake loves high memory bandwidth.
