total: $403 from Newegg:
Had to downgrade HDD a little bit- Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar Blue WD3200AAKS 320GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
Actually could upgrade RAM- LIAN-LI mid tower case and G-SKILL DDR3 1600 4GB RAM: Newegg.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, LED LCD TV, Digital Cameras and more!
BIOSTAR 785G chipset MicroATX mobo and Athlon II x2 AM3 3.2 GHz CPU- Newegg.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, LED LCD TV, Digital Cameras and more!
And finally, could afford to upgrade PSU but had to downgrade GPU a little bit to a Radeon HD 4670- Newegg.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, LED LCD TV, Digital Cameras and more!
Add on ODD for around $20 and that's just over $420. You could cut back even more on CPU if you had to and go with the cheaper 3.1 or 3.0 GHz versions and save 10-20 bucks. This is a budget build with decent graphics, fast RAM, and a decent low-budget CPU. The PSU isn't exactly cheap, either. OCZ Fatal1ty series 550W PSU. This should hold for some video editing as long as it's not used for any sort of serious multitasking.
