Depends on what kind of CPU do you have and what kind of video editing you will be doing.

Usually if the video is not very demanding and you have a modern CPU you are OK with integrated gpu, if it is for professional use I would buy a GPU.

im more in to picture editing so the video editing wont be that demanding tbh, it is not for pro editing either

That'll be grand, and the onboard Intel 4600 will do you fine.

The I7 4770K will be enough, go for it.

Unless your video use goes into 16gb and above arena, and you are using premier pro handling multiple 1080p or higher video sources the intel should be ok, however if you are going as demanding as I said, get a 2nd hand 570 gtx for CUDA GPU acceleration.

thanks combat squirrel, the max i can do at the moment is 20mins 1080p video on a 8gb flash card so defo wont be going on to a 16gb cf card just yet thanks mate
