Cheap Video Editing PC Build?

[PianoMike]

Can someone build me a cheap Video Editing PC? I don't have a set budget, just make sure it's less then $600. The less expensive it is, the better. Thanks!

Monitor - Not needed

OS - Not needed

Thanks!!

Here's my take. For video editing, going budget is tough, 'cause you can't get a good Intel CPU, like you'd want for video work. Here is a decent AMD build:

A cheap video editing PC is hard to do as CPU plays the biggest component in video rendering so your rendering time will be slower.
