the reason you need a video card is if you are editing and rendering video (in our biz anyway)
The computer I'm typing on right now is a I7 x980 cpu with 24 gigs of RAM
It's as fast and as powerful as anything...
BUT thanks to my NVidia Quadro FX 4800 video card I can render h264 vids that would take hours in a matter of minutes.
Why? Because of the "CUDA" technology that uses the video card's GPU processor to render with Adobe CS6 Premieres Mercury engine.
It not only renders vid a LOT faster, but it does the job a lot better too.
Doesn't matter how much CPU and RAM you have...IF you have Adobe Premiere and a CUDA technology NVidia card, you will blow away your current output of production.
