I'm not that of a gear-head, but you should look for
1) lots of RAM (16 GB or more)
2) fast hard drive (SSD)
3) fast graphics card with more memory

The more cores on the CPU, the better, but it also depends on the video software you are going to use. Some applications don't work with the GPU much and rely on the CPU cores. Others utilize the GPU better.
