Hi Uwe, I would be looking at the CUDA cores, memory speed and hard drive access times on a budget.
An i5 or i7 (current 3rd gen) should be fine and obviously a mobo to fit. Check the Adobe benchmark site for your available hardware and see what you come up with. A couple of mech drives in RAID striping are a lot cheaper and will cope over an SSD for size. Mega memory GFX cards are simply a selling point for gamers, although a multi screen setup would require about 512MB per 1080 screen in reality to be stable. 128 MB will 'work', but don't expect miracles :-) Neil.
