It depends on how much money you are ready to spend. You can get a not bad video card with 256 Mb. But if you want to work efficiently it's better you have at least 512 SLI (1024 together). The best and most expensive is 1024 Mb vido cards which are create for video editing and gaming. It can cost as much as $700-1000 depending on brand and type.

Video Editing is memory intensive. Each pixel and frame in the video has to be stored and retrieved fast. I would recommend 4-8GB of Ram. DDR2 would be the best choice.

Photoshop is require as much memory, since the images are stationary. However each pixel has too be stored also. I would recommend 2-4 GB of RAM for Photoshop.

If your going to be doing both, 6GB is a good compromise. You could still easily edit video without running out of memory, and also run Photoshop without a lot of wasted memory.
