OK I been browsing the whole web, I am yet to get an good idea of what to buy that isn't out of stock. I have no idea what to get or what to look for. I just need a pc that can run after effects cs6, premiere cs6, and resolve light, I'll be shooting with a t2i later on. I hope to upgrade to a better camera... I just want this system to run without taking so long to render any ideas? Please help, I would really appreciate it thanks.

Desktop or laptop?
To start, anything that is beefed up for gaming will generally work well for video editing. Get an i7 processor or equivalent, as many cores as you can afford. As important as the processor, RAM is you friend (as much as you can get). Check your software requirements for graphics card compatibility.
Past those items, storage space (always have media drives that are separate from your boot drive) and connection bus (high-speed is especially important for laptops using external media storage, so USB 3 or better).
Knowing this, find the best you can within your budget.
