"One step up" recommended computer specs for Studio 2017

Hey all,

Getting a new computer at work and I have the freedom to ask for a couple non-standard upgrades to make sure work goes as smoothly and quickly as possible. My 4GB RAM Lenovo ThinkPad notebook would always throw the "system out of memory exception" and "The document cannot be processed since it contains unexpected contents" that never show up on my coworker's 8GB computer.
So the base model of my new notebook is as follows:
OS:Win10
CPU:Core i3
HDD:128GB(SSD)
RAM: 8GB (8GBx1)

Based on this post:

it would be a good idea to go to 256GB HDD because it's faster... for some reason. So I'll keep that in mind. What would be the next recommended step? A better CPU (Core i5) or more RAM (12GB)? 
Note, I've already read this page: http://www.sdltrados.com/products/trados-studio/system-requirements.html
