I would recommend an nvidia card over AMD at this time due to driver situation still being difficult. I realize the price of lower end nvidia cards has doubled since the bit coin explosion. The 1050's are not horribly priced, they seem to be not desired for mining. I do not know how beefy of a card you need for video editing.

GTA V and Tomb Raider are hard to run so you are spot on regarding CPU. RAM and HDD are fine too but for the other parts I suggest that you take a look at the Logical Increments recommendations (Superb tier).

Agreed on NVIDIA in that it is a no-brainer for gaming on Linux.
