That's not very easy if it's going to be used for gaming. The only low cost motherboards are refitted 945 chipset boards right now and a decent video card will dent that budget pretty hard.

It will be used for some video editing so $1000 is an unrealistic budget. What would a good setup cost then? How much more would i need to add to get something decent?
