We're currently in the process of developing specs for a video editing setup for the marketing department in a small school. We'll be using Adobe Premiere CS6 primarily, running on Windows 7 (perhaps 8.1 in the future).
Here's the current specs: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2Vl38
We're looking to keep the build in the $1,000 - $1,500 range. Any insight/suggestions for modifcation would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Thanks all for the quick responses, TomsHardware is great. I should've added a few considerations:
$1,000 -$1,500 budget includes the purchase of licensing (~$70 for Win7 for us, and monitor(s))
Initially we'll be using this to create short (2-5 minute) video trailers using a Canon DSLRs (60D and 6D), with a Zoom H4n for audio. Our hope is to grow this next school, perhaps do a few short films and expand the equipment. With the new Intel chips coming our (Q3? right?) and the comments below, I'm wondering if it makes sense to go for a bit more of a budget build for now, then save some money to build the machine we'd need for longer film editing in the next fiscal year.
I've read a few posts where folks mention you can get away without purchasing a video card when purchasing the i7 class, integrated video sufficient for editing. Thoughts? Hate to spend our budget if the new Intel chips would give us more just a few months down the road, but we're in a bit of a pinch to get these by mid/late March.
Thanks all, appreciate the thoughts.
