Reasoning behind certain parts that some may bring questions of:

Locked i7 - In a school environment, you really wont be doing any overclocking, the goal is to make it last as long as possible.

Cooling - Nice to have something decent on there, since the CPU is going to be put to work.

mATX Form Factor - Good to try and minimize its presence in the room, its more versatile and can fit in larger variety of spaces.

RAM - Pretty self-explanatory, a reliable 2X8 kit, can add more if you want later.

SSD - Reliable SSD, enough space for key programs

HDD - Hopefully enough, Id assume your school has some sort of on-site storage server (most do, or at least mine does)

GPU - Fury is a solid performer, fits the price bracket perfectly.

Case - Small, and professional look.

Power Supply - Its SeaSonic, there ya go and it's 80+ Gold, there ya go

Monitor - Highly rated panel, its IPS and 1440p, perfect for video editing

I left some headroom for keyboard and mouse, I cant chose that type of stuff for you :P

That's damn near perfect. Thanks!

I am planning on building a dedicated video editing pc for my school. Our budget is anywhere between 1500 and 2000 dollars. This has to include a monitor, mouse, and keyboard though.

 

I'm torn between getting an i7 or a xeon. I also don't know if i should get an amd or nVidia card. I would like to have at least 16gb of ram and two ssd's to run in raid 0. If someone could piece together a good system for me it would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks

Try an i7 as it will have more consumer friendly features and compatibility. Use a 4790k or a 5820k. Use nVidia card for CUDA accelerated programs.

A Xeon would be good for video editing. 

An i7 has integrated graphics, but you will already have a discrete video card.

Freenas Server: i3 4170, X10-SLL-F-O, Crucial 16GB UDIMM, 4x4TB WD Red, Evga 550GS, Fractal 804

I recommend this build. You can use more money for 32 GB of RAM.

Who is building the pc? Will he/she even be overclocking, if this is for school and other students possibly using it, it better be stable.

You might consider an X99 build. Unless students store their projects on local storage a nice size ssd should be all the storage needed. Inexpensive but good keyboard and mouse, since they probably will not last very long anyways.
