If you're set on an Apple (even though there are plenty of other options out there) then you will need to up your price range for anything good/decent.

I would suggest staying with a PC (or better yet, some distribution of Linux because everything is free) that is cheap and working with that. Once you have the money for a Mac then buy it then. Transition between programs later.
Well I would love to just stick with PC. Personally I consider Macs pieces of shit, but everytime I look at what people are looking for in the field of media, they're asking for knowledge in Final Cut Pro. That's why I've been looking, but my research has come up with the cheapest price for my needs at $1300 (which isn't happening).

Still, thanks to everyone who made suggestions.
