First, CPU Cores. Speed is helpful as well but most good video software is multi-threaded and having a CPU with many cores which supports a robust instruction set at a good clock speed will significantly reduce your time for encoding/changing video.

Second, lots and lots of hard drive space on a FAST hard drive setup. This usually rules out Solid-State (SSD) disk drives since they tend to be limited on space. I would recommend a good, solid 7200rpm drive with a good seek time and, if you can afford it, a series of hard drives in a RAID array with a good controller to increase access and write/read time.

Those two things alone will help you more then any other. Of course a good video card is helpful. Professional series cards such as a FireGL or Quatro card. A large monitor with good color reproduction is a good investment as well. Viewsonic professional LCD's or Dell Ultrasharps have high marks.

Hope this helps!
