What processor and memory option is best for Surface Pro 4

Hi, everyone I'm new here and pretty much new to windows after leaving windows completely back in 2003 after having a dell laptop I vowed never to return. Switch to a mac, but the more I keep thinking about things windows is where I want to be as their is innovation is just on a whole other level. And I want a tablet laptop hybrid something that can run tablet apps and full versions of apps and I think the surface pro 4 is my best bet but seeing how I haven't used windows in forever wanted to get opinions on which configuration I should go with I think I know but just want to be reassured. The things that I will be doing are the following.

1. xbox Game streaming
2. video/photo editing in Adobe premiere and After Effects and also photo shop
3. podcasting recording audio and Skype calls
4. blowing with either Wordpress app or browser may need stuff side by side.

So i5 with 16GB Ram 256gb SSD, or i7 8gb Ram and 256gb SSD

Merged redundant threads.

1, 3, 4 should be relatively easily handled by most PC's.

2 is the kicker. I'm not sure how much horsepower you need and whether the Pro is the best choice or not. I'd go i7 in case, but this doesn't have a discrete GPU if you need that.

For my personal usage I'd choose more RAM.
