Are we talking RAM + HDD speed? Or is the actual graphics card important? I'm looking to understand which components have the greatest tangible effect?
What does a video editing PC need to have more of?

This.
There's no firm rules though unfortunately, the details depend on your workflow.
P.S. The only real essentials are having enough storage space, RAM (quantity, not speed), and patience.
This.
GPU's don't make nearly as much difference for video work as people think. A decent CPU, lots of RAM and a good HDD setup (ie, multiple drives each with their own task) will get you a lot faster than just chucking a beefy GPU in.
