Im planning to build a budget pc soon. im thinking if im going to go for the i5 6400 which has a 1151 socket or AMD fx8320e which has an old am3+ socket. i'll be pairing it with gtx 950 and 16gb of ram

Intel for sure. Do not go for AMD at all.

honestly... if you can spare the money... an i7 processor would work so much better for you in terms of editing! when it comes to any form of editing an i7 processor is almost a must have!

why not go for a laptop instead so you can travel with it too?

 

this is a highly recommended architectural laptop with good specs and within your budget:

i actually have a laptop, but i dont think that it's capable of what i want to do. it's an asus x555l laptop

I got a build, it's little overpriced, but it will work nicely in rendering and editting.

Edit: onboard graphic can handle some games.

If you are travelling to and from your place of education then mobility is a key thing to have and will give ou the edge over other students so a laptop would probably be better and the link i sent you with the Dell Inspirion is definately a good choice for architecture and editing along with a little gaming

i actually plan of just using it at home since it will be for my thesis project. i will use it for just the heavier renderings and use my laptop if i need to go out
