Without a doubt, upgrade your RAM: 16GB for preference, 8GB if that is all you can afford
In terms of your GFX card - a GPU is useful when you want to render, but has limited use on simple playback functionality, so I would wait before upgrading that. A video card is a better way to go, but not really worth it if you are only editing video that is destined for the web.
You want to store your operating system and your editing software on a separate drive, so if you don't have one already, get a separate physical drive onto which you store all your video media. Seriously - keeping your application and OS on the same drive as your media is looking for trouble. If this drive has to be an external, look at a Firewire connection as a minimum, if not USB 3. Tops would be Thunderbolt, but I doubt that your laptop has that.
I hope this helps.

Best Laptop for Video Editing?
Q. So I have been saving up money for a new laptop for awhile now and am looking to invest it in the best possible laptop for primarily video editing. Currently my laptop has plenty of memory and ram but the processor is only at 1.5 GHz and is an HP Laptop. I think that there's intel processor's with a 3.6 Ghz and wondering if I should try for something like that? Or if there is a specific laptop or even just a laptop that has the compatibility to upgrade to a higher processor like that it would be great.
The use would involve heavy RAW filed photo and video editing along with special effects design and music editing.
Thank you.

Answer
You need something with a good processor, and a ***tload of RAM.
Look for:
i7-3610QM, i7-3630QM, i7-3840QM
16GB+ RAM
Graphics card doesn't matter.
256GB+ Solid State Drive
You didn't list your budget, but this build could easily cost upwards of $1500 or more.
I rarely say this on YAnswers, but a desktop is a more practical solution for heavy video editing if you want it done fast.
Disregard that if you really want a laptop.
