Depends on what you are doing.
Will you be working on hd or 2k? Compressed or uncompressed?
What applications will you be using? Aftereffects, nuke, resolve, avid ,premiere?

What are you ingesting? What are you delivering?

I would think depending on what you are working on the GPU may be weak and not have enough ram.
A single non-raided hard drive will be challenged to deliver the performance you may need.

I also don't see an output card listed for a video monitor. This should be a separate from the GUI that you are using for video production

The mini monitor should be all you need to drive a video display via hdmi
