The days of saving money by building a pc yourself are long over. One can buy a one-step-behind the-latest-technology pc that is very fast for video editing and encoding that will easily be under $1000 without a monitor. Perfect examples are the deal on that Core 2 Quad you saw online and the deal I got for my Core 2 Duo six months ago.

Buying a comparable processor and building it yourself will always cost more. The only reason to build yourself nowadays is if you must have the absolute latest fastest pc technology and you are willing to spare no expense on doing it.
