I fully agree: absolute requirements are rather low, I've done small demo projects with Atom+2G RAM... but had to be patient :)
Thanks to proxies, editing can be smooth on almost any machine.
Some years ago due to memory leaks we needed several GB RAM to complete big projects rendering while keeping app open, but that's now over.

I would just advise not to go for NVidia due to proprietary drivers nightmare (crashes & incompatibilities, Wayland questions...)
(yet many users still use NVidia cards successfully and we have hardware encoding profiles for their hardware)...

We should write this topic in a FAQ on a wiki for quick answer, as the question comes rather often on forums & IRC...
volunteers ? :)
