I agree with Hugh even though 16GB RAM is overkill unless you are running MANY applications at once.
I highly recommend spending the extra cash on an SSD. When I built my gaming PC I put in a 120GB SSD for the OS and programs and it is the best thing you can do to a computer! I recently put a Samsung 840 Series 250GB SSD in my MacBook Pro and boy is it fast! Boots up in under 15 seconds.
If you require a lot of space do what Hugh said and take the optical drive out and add an SSD and keep the standard HDD that came with the laptop. If 512GB SSD would be enough and you need the optical drive then just buy the SSD!
Good luck mate!
