Will there be a new CPU, Graphic card, Ram that will be much faster then ?

A. This is sort of a pointless question.
Of course there will be new CPU's, new GPU's, faster and higher capacity RAM and hard drives. They are in a constant state of change, and new additions to each of those categories come out at least once a year, so you're looking at at least 2 generations better than what we have now.
But you might want to rethink your strategy, as a super powerful gaming laptop is not very portable and it's battery life will suck. And as a college student myself, you are going to want a laptop that you can take where ever you need, easily (both weight and size) and something that wont die in an hour. Come back to Yahoo Answers when you are ready to buy a gaming laptop, as any advice as to parts is pure speculation and will lead you astray.

What are some good video cards and for hd video editing and gaming?
Q. I'm building a computer and i'm ordering my parts from new egg soon and i need help choosing a good video card for video editing and gaming. Also can you also recommend a good processor
My budget is around $1000
and by 1000 i mean on the whole pc.

A. *** Update ***
OK, with a $1000 budget I'd suggest the Core i7 2400 and a GTX 560. Or upgrade to the Core i7 2600 if movie editing is more important than anything else.
Here's a great guide with different builds indicated by color code.

Take the Tier 4 (green) build, eliminate the SSD. That leaves enough money to upgrade to the Core i7 2600. Or you could stick with the Core i5 2400 and get a second 1TB hard drive for storing videos.

What's your budget for the whole system, roughly?
Video editing relies primarily on the CPU, having a high-end graphics card doesn't really matter for that. You'll want one of Intel's 2nd generation Sandy Bridge processors along with a Z68 motherboard in order to use Quick Sync. You'll want between 8-16 GB of RAM, and it's best to have two hard drives. Video editing goes smoother when your source and destination folders are on different physical drives.
For gaming you'll want at least a midrange graphics card, a GeForce GTX 460/Radeon HD 6850 or better. Note that the GTX 550 Ti is a lower performance card than the GTX 460, not higher.
I recommend a Core i7 2600 for video editing (or Core i5 2400 if the i7 doesn't fit your budget) along with a GTX 560. That combination can run all games on high settings and most titles maxed. If you wanted an even more powerful graphics card to play games like Battlefield 3 on ultra settings, the Radeon HD 7850 and GeForce GTX 570 are recommended. If you want a really high-end card, the GeForce GTX 680. Of course those models are much more expensive.
There's no point paying extra for the "K" processors since you won't be overclocking (it's not something to attempt if you're not already very familiar with how it works).
Also, the Core i5 2550K lacks the integrated GPU which is required for Quick Sync, so avoid that one- go with the Core i5 2500, 2400 or 2320, or the Core i7 2600 if that's not too expensive.
