Video Editing Computers.

CPU: Intel Core i7-2600K (Overclocked to 4.6Ghz, using Corsair H100 closed loop liquid cooling)
Mainboard: EVGA P67-SLI (Not recommended, way too finicky and doesn't have the level of BIOS update support a bigger brand gets you)
RAM: 8GB Corsair Vengeance 1866Mhz DDR3 (Upgrading to 16GB at some point soon, this RAM has already been replaced under warranty once)
Graphics: Gigabyte SuperClock GTX570 (Further overclocked about 5%)
Power Supply: SeaSonic X-Series 750W (Absolutely wonderful)
Other: Samsung 830 256MB SSD, Western Digital 1TB Black, 1TB Green HDDs, Corsair 650D Case (not at all recommended, poorly built and Corsair support has gone downhill), Asus Xonar DGX sound card
Running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (Will be upgrading to Windows 8 Pro with Start8 once Winamp gets compatibility sorted out)

Paid about $2,200 for this when I originally built it without the SSD in 2011. Put about another $300 into it since. I've been enjoying this rig quite a bit though I do plan to eventually replace the case. I used to swear up and down by Corsair but both their product quality and support have gone way down in my opinion of late. I won't be buying their stuff again for a while.
 
CPU: Intel i5-2320
GPU: Sapphire 6950 1GB
Ram: Gskill Value 4GB DDR3 1333 (2pieces)
Motherboard: Asrock H61m U3S3

I'll be upgrading this one by one next yr or next next yr.
 
Computer 1 : Self built

CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 OC to 4,25 ghz
Motherboard: Asus M4A87TD
RAM: 12GB
Graphics Card: Sapphire radeon HD 6790 (1GB)
Power Supply: 500 Watt

Computer 2 : Samsung 350V5C-S01SE

CPU: AMD (don't remember name) quad core 2,1 ghz
Motherboard: unsure
RAM: 8GB
Graphics Card: AMD 7640m dual graphics
 
Built this back in 2011, not too bad cost-wise (over $1200) relative to a Mac Pro that it would run circles around for [atleast] 3x price.

CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Processor (stock clocked 3.2GHz)
Motherboard: Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3
RAM: 32GB Corsair 1600MHz
Graphics Card: 1.5GB ASUS GeForce 570GTX
Power Supply: Corsair TX850M
Any Other comments:
128GB SSD OS drive
6TB RAID0 HDD (2x3TB Seagate 7200)
Blu-Ray Burner
Windows 7 Pro

I am looking to build an editing PC, that is all I am going be using it for. Does anyone have a price range for such a machine? I will be using After Effects and Premiere Pro. At the moment my laptop renders out a 10 minute commentary in about 4 hours, nowhere near acceptable if my YouTube thing is going to go anywhere.

Thanks

There's no real price range, I'd say over $800+, mine cost $1200+ to build, then it's just how fast you want it to render and if your commentary has any heavy-duty effects. Your video rendering is affected by processor, ram, hard drive speed, graphics card (nVidia so you can accelerate PP/AE with CUDA cores).

If you want faster speed, go Intel over AMD. If price conscious, go AMD for processor.

You want your OS drive on a SSD, output/scratch disk to be a second SSD or RAID0.

I'd choose a motherboard that could handle 32-64gb of RAM because RAM is relatively cheap (but requires Win 7/8 pro), but generally 8-16gb would be "okay" if you're just doing commentary.

Thanks man, really appreciate it. As of now I will only be "editing" my commentaries, I have edited with FX and used many techniques that make my laptop sound like it wants me to end it's lifecycle. I am interested in editing and if I get an editing PC, I will most likely do more heavy editing in After Effects than I have tried and failed as of now.
 
CPU: Intel i5-3570k
Motherboard: Gigabye Z77x-U3DH
RAM: 8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz
Graphics Card: Gigabye GTX 670
Power Supply: Corsair CX 600
Other comments: An SSD for the OS, hard drive for everything else. Makes it so much faster :) Also got some more Corsair fans for improved cooling, and the NZXT Phantom case in white is one of the most beautiful cases I've ever seen. The blue led's match perfectly with the Steelseries Sibera V2 Frost blue headset as well.

I use Dxtory for recording.
