I've never built a desktop but how much am I looking to

Your budget defines the build, not the other way around

Expect to drop at least $800 if you don't have anything on hand, like monitors and shit.

but expect to spend $200+ on peripherals if you're not getting a shitty mouse and keyboard combo.

Most import part for video editing is the CPU. The rest isn't all that important.

-Get the best CPU you can afford (latest i7)
-Get a decent mobo (nothing fancy and don't look at gamer mobo's)
-Get 8GB RAM at the highest speed your mobo allows (no need for 16GB)
-Get a decent PSU (500-600W should be enough)
-Get a decent sized SSD, 512GB minimum.

A dedicated GPU is not really necessary, the integrated iGPU should be good enough.

t. poorfag that can't afford a workstation GPU

be wary that the latest i7 is not neccessarily good and it's not as simple as i3<i5<i7

I'd reccomend doing some research and going to le reddit or a dedicated thread on pc building on /g/ and looking for a good overclockable reliable CPU.

Then scour website communities (that have points based review comments and accountability) and look for people looking to sell mobo+cpu 'kits' that are selling them to fund their upgrade.

Slap an aftermarket aluminium block style cpu cooler on it and learn to overclock (it's not hard anymore)

Build your pc around that.

excluding gamer motherboards just for being branded that is retarded, look at the actual features.
