If you aren't really technically confident to custom build a machine or ask for specific hardware, look for a computer that is built for gaming - they have top video cards and good processor speed with a good amount of ram.
On the contrary, the video card is meaningless for editing HD video. None of my dual core or Core 2 Duo pcs have anything more than an inexpensive video card and I edit, render and encode high definition video with real time effects with Adobe Premiere Pro all day long.
