I need a build with a i7 cpu and a ATI graphics card for under 800. I don't need a monitor, speakers, keyboard, a mouse, a case, or a dvd burner. The computer would be used for editing videos. I use premiere pro. So what do you think?
 
Agreed, you would be much better going with a Phenom II X6 for video editing, and possibly a GTX 460 GPU as nvidia cards are quite alot better at GPGPU than the ATI cards.

You could swap the gpu for a 5770 or such, but i'd highly recommend the GTX 460 at this point in time.
 
Windows 7 Home Premium - $100
Intel Core i7-920 - $240
ASRock X58 Extreme - $ 150
OCZ Platinum XTC Triple Channel Kit 6 GB - $145
ATI radeon HD 5830 - $220
Rosewill RV2-700 -$40

Total:$900


IMO, you should get an i5-750 ($190), OC it, and get the 1GB version of the GTX 460 ($210)
Then you can pocket the extra cash, spend it on software, accessories, peripherals, whatever you like :)

EDIT

Sorry, as for the mobo
MSI H55M-P31 Motherboard LGA 1156 ($85)

You'll want that socket for the i5 :P

Anything I've put up, you could probably get it for less with the newegg combo discounts;

Forgot Mass storage :o Boy I'm cr*p today.
+1 for the Spinpoint F3, very good bang for your buck, and excels at small-file write test, as samsungs usually do

Rosewill power supplies are rubbish.

That's subjective.
But there has been some somewhat dodgy reviews.
Sorry 'bout that. If in doubt, go for a big brand name, the actual brands are plastered all over this forum

Its not subjective, when the ripple is out of ATX spec and it is produced by manufacturers such as solytech, youngyear, and ATNG, its not going to be a good power supply. None of the rosewill power supplies maintain even a decently steady +12v rail, none will output their advertised wattages, and none will keep ripple within ATX specs. Sorry, but power supplies are extremely OBJECTIVE, not subjective.
 
OK,OK, of course, the actual performance of the Power supply is entirely Objective, but when power supplies yield similar performance (Which, as pointed out, the Rosewill didn't), then it's a matter of personal preference when it comes to brands. Sorry:P
