You should be able to put together a machine that can handle this for around $1,000. Just make sure you get a LOT of memory, and a pretty decent graphics card/processor. I would also probably pick up an SSD to load the OS/programs and work with, especially if you plan on doing any video editing from your local HD.
Pre-built machines are just a rip off. You can generally build a far superior system to what you would buy pre-built for a lot cheaper.
P.S. To the poster above me: What the hell is with that annoying signature??
