I'm looking for what you'd say really cheap video editing PC. I've tried my programs(adobe) on dual core intels 2.2ghz and 3.3ghz gaming PC's. Both did the job, but were very slow.
AMD A10-Series X4 6800K 4.1GHz FM2 seems to offer good processing power on paper. I can't imagine any video editing software to utilize any consumer graphics card, so I assume the integrated in the CPU is more then enough. Is a good quad core processor and enough RAM all that is needed for good real time editing?

Oh I agree, a quality SSD to hold the OS and some often used files will be one of my first updates. But wouldn't the integrated graphics card refer to the RAM so often, that it would slow it for the CPU's access to the RAM?
 
what about 32gigs?............

I have to assume the OP has to do this build on a budget?...... because no other information was given. so maybe a 1tb WD green............ or a couple of mirrored drives?

I won't build a machine without an SSD in it. just doesn't make sense but I guess sometimes corners need to be cut.

we also don't know what kind of editing he's doing. Maybe an APU would be good enough? maybe he needs a big video card? making the apu build null?

By budget I meant APU, 8GB RAM, cheap board, cheap 500GB seagate HDD, cheap codegen box(I have old one, it works perfectly).
Task:
mix many uncompressed short fragments of different HD clips, add transitions, effects, text and mixed audio.
The question is:
will the videocard reduce the speed of the RAM for the CPU.
