Hello,
For a productivity build like that, Ryzen is the obvious option. Here is what I would suggest:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant
CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 1600 3.2GHz 6-Core Processor ($199.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Motherboard: MSI - B350M PRO-VDH Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard ($74.49 @ SuperBiiz)
Memory: GeIL - EVO POTENZA 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory ($93.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Seagate - Barracuda ES 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($45.99 @ Amazon)
Video Card: Asus - Radeon RX 550 2GB Video Card ($83.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Case: Corsair - 100R ATX Mid Tower Case ($39.99 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: Corsair - CXM 450W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($26.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $565.43
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available
Generated by PCPartPicker 2017-06-25 01:21 EDT-0400
Rationale:
CPU: 6 fast cores with a good IPC and price
CPU cooler: for this budget the stock Ryzen cooler will be fine
MOBO: the cheapest B350 motherboard I could find. Supports overclocking.
RAM: 16gb is a must for a productivity build like this one.
Storage:
SSD: regrettably I was not able to fit an SSD into the budget (though that is the first upgrade I would make!)
HDD: 1tb spinning at 7200RPM. Fast enough and certainly enough storage
GPU: built for media acceleration tasks like this, the Rx 550 is good for the price and fits this build well.
Case: my go-to for a build like this, you might want to add and sp120 or 2 for improved airflow later on.
PSU: the new CXM lineup from corsair is reliable and good for budget builds.
Hopefully this helps, if anyone has any input on this build I welcome it!

Here's an improvement upon that list, you absolutely NEED high frequency RAM with Ryzen, at the very least 2800MHz-3000Mhz is required.
The GPU is also awful value for money, and the HDD can be improved, as can the motherboard.
A little bit more cash in this range goes a long way.
If you want to cut back on cost, get the Masterbox 5 Windowless for $29.

Good call, Chug.
I was going more for $550, but you're right, $50 goes a long way to improving it!

Chugalug_ :
Just a tip in future with cheap GPUs, never go for the RX 550, as generally even if the 1050 for $5-10 more isn't in the price range, an RX 460 performs far better than a 550 for less usually. 
I'll keep that in mind, thanks.
Omfg you guys are amazing thank you so much! I had no clue where to even begin.
OK, so what I'd like to do with this build is to slowly upgrade it every year. I could probably do like $500 a year to get me through architecture school. What would be some the first things I should invest in,. say next year?

Hey guys I just wanted to give you all a quick update!
I finally went through buying all the parts and completed the build a couple of weeks ago and to be honest i couldnt be happier. I did have a couple of questions though.
So I know this is supposed to be a workstation build, but while waiting for the semester to start again, I cant help but pass the time by playing some games. my question is, how can i get a better fps while gaming? I've been playing a lot of Battlefield 1 and i'm getting an average of 40fps, occasionally 60. This seem a bit low to me, but then again, idk how well these low budget workstation builds are supposed to handle gaming.
What tips can you guys give me? what settings should I tweak?

With a 1050 you should aim for medium settings, with max 2x MSAA. At that you should get 50-60fps in most titles.

Oh wait nevermind, you got lehan's list....
Why did you list an RX 550 @Lehan?
They perform terribly, and for $10 more an RX 460 or 1050 was in the cards.
If you don't have high frequency RAM gaming takes a huge hit too, hence why I was discouraging you from getting that set of parts.
Don't expect much from a 550.

Sorry! I did recommend your list, Chug!

Honestly linus will be able to explain it far better than me, so I would suggest watching this video , then the follow up, about the different types.

AaaAAaaAAh!
It was selected as best answer, so I kinda jumped to conclusions there.
Anti Aliasing is a graphical setting which smooths jagged edges, and is heavily reliant on VRAM.
Shadows and lighting also kill frame rates, so crank those down too.

ohhhhh lmao @chug sorry man I honestly thought i'd picked yours as the best solution hahaha. problem solved though! & ahhh so keep aa to around 4 then. gotcha. I am looking forward to upgrading GPU next year. I want something beefier. You guys have unlocked pandora's box
