I've been doing quite a lot of research recently and finally making my first post here! 
I have decided to build this system for myself, and any tips/advice would be appreciated! The system will be used for video editing, and offcourse I'm limited to sum budget! I am also limited to few brands of pc components
Anyway, Here's the list of components that I have considered:
Processor: Amd fx 8350
Motherboard: MSI AMD 990XA-GD55
Ram: Transcend 32GB (4 x 8Gb) 1600 bus
SSD: 2x Transcend 128 GB SSD320 SATA III 6Gb/s
HDD: 2x 1TB
GPU: MSI GTX 660 Ti OC 2GB
PSU: Thermaltake 750watt
CPU Air-cooling: Thermaltake Frio Advanced
Chassis: Thermaltake Level 10 GTS
I'll be working with .h264 codec videos mostly as I shoot with DSLRs. I'll be using premiere pro cs6 for editing, and I'll have 1080p videos with bitrates of 70-80mbps. 3-4 layers of videos mostly. And I'll also be spending a lot of time with after effects, and some plugins too like Element 3d, and Particulars.
I understand I cannot have a high speed high capacity storage system, thats why I have decided to keep my storage system the following way:
C: SSD for OS and my main editing programs.
D: SSD for working on Current Projects only.
E: HDD 1TB for Renders
F: Music, Other Files, and may be software caching?
I back up my finished projects in External Disks
I could be wrong but I think for my video editing needs, I need good read sequential speeds. Most of the SSDS have very good seq read speeds. And I think write speed on the disks is not very important as that will be limited by the CPU processing ( If I am not wrong )
I think for my editing requirements, GTX 660Ti would be quite okay. Offcourse I could get many more cuda cores with much more money.
And I am choosing AMD for two reasons:
1. the PRICE! I cannot afford Intel i7 which provides similar performance.
2. 8 Cores! My softwares will be able to use all the 8 cores as far as I know!
I hope I have provided enough information. ANY tip or advice would be greatly appreciated!
