The GTX 760m is a good graphics chip for a laptop. It is a lot weaker than the desktop version of the GTX 760, but as you said, you do not have room for a desktop.

16GB of RAM does not provide better performance than 8GB of RAM. So if you can drop that down to 8GB you can save a little bit of money. Of course, if you need that 16GB of RAM for other things then that's different.

If the price difference between 16GB and 8GB is like a drop of water in an ocean, then might was well go for it.

With that amount of RAM you can potentially run windows without the pagefile which I think windows automatically sets it to equal 100% or 50% of physical RAM; I forget. It can possibly make your laptop feel just slightly more responsive because with no pagefile there is no reading / writing to the hard drive to slow it down.

Of course if you are doing something that is going to use a lot of RAM, then it's best to have the pagefile. Such as if for some reason you like having 100 tabs open in Firefox, Chrome or Internet Explorer.
