    In my personal opinion - always go for as much RAM as you can from the get go.

    Jfyi if you want to spend a bit less a 1060 will do the trick too.
    My MSI is running a gtx 1060 and its working really nice.

    Laptop... bleh. I'd be more interested to know what ram and the speed of it etc, how much it will throttle your performance to be in said suffocated laptop compared to the same parts in a tower. I'd be really surprised if the ram in those systems get near 3200mhz etc... Then to have to buy an entire new one in the future instead of swapping a part or two. Rough.

    If you go with 12GB RAM, make sure the laptop can be upgraded. I would go with a minimum of 16GB in any computer (16 is quickly becoming the new 8GB standard).
