The i5 is more than enough, unless you're doing some heavy rendering. I would maybe consider getting at least a 500GB hard drive, you'll fill up 250 quick than you may think.
yes I do hoard lol
I dont do any intensive rendering (thank god)
I would look into a more custom build for that type of thing
I just want it to react really fast between switching to photoshop and going back to safari and then opening Skype within a timely manner. (just an example)

16GB of RAM is overkill for every day tasks like that, not sure on the options but if you can you should probably drop to 8GB if you can, saves you some money.
I would recommend the 16GB if you have the spare funds. I thought I'd be fine with 8GB, but in time you'll find yourself chewing through it. I sit under 200MB of free memory at all times.
