Hi there,
All of them matter actually;
CPU - for multi-threading options
GPU - helps in ray-tracing calculations
RAM - faster previews
HDD - I'd recommend SSD - the faster the drive the faster projects can be loaded + more disk cache can be allocated
If you have priorities, I'd suggest - 1. MultiCore CPU, 2.RAM (At least 16GB), 3.Good Graphics CARD, 4.HDD/SSD
Hope this helps! š

āIn order of priority:
The video card is completely irrelevant. AE does not accelerate anything apart from the 3D Ray tracing and that is being phased out. Second, the latest nVidia 900 series do not support Ray tracing acceleration and AMD video cards are out anyway, since in PR they are around two times slower than nVidia cards.
