Hard drive: 3 TB

yes, but it will be slower than more powerful machines.

People did video editing on PCs with far weaker systems in the past.

if you want the most powerful options, you probably want a skylake i7, 16 to 32 gb of RAM, a top-line video card and an SSD

Do you currently have those components? Any GPU?

It would be able to play HD videos just fine, editing is a whole other ballgame though.

In short, the A10 can be used to edit HD video, but I can't image it would be an overly enjoyable experience if you were doing it a lot.

A variety of factors come into play. The software used - the more cores it can take advantage of, the better (and buy a CPU that gels nicely). Intel's i5, i7 or Xeon offerings tend to be preferred for editing - but for significant editing. If this is a hobby or something you may do on occassion, the A10 would be ok.

RAM would be a big requirement too, 8GB would generally be considered the minimum for video editing. Depending how serious you are about the editing, 16GB wouldn't be a bad upgrade.

I think you'll be fine. The only "issue" would be the editing and exporting process. Puts a load on the CPU. But if you don't plan on doing a lot of background work while exporting a video, I think it will be fine. I mean, it will run a but slower than others, but I bet it won't be TOO slow.
