Just use Linux it will help you with a lot of things later. What you do with your OS's outside of that is your business. ::)

Bump and sorry for double post. How much would it affect me to go to 12GB/8GB RAM? And what if I took out the SSD?

An extra 4GB of ram will pretty much do nothing. Unless you are running something that will use all of that. Since nothing I do ever exceeds 8GB you wont see any real benefit from the extra 4 gigs.
Removing the SSD will change you boot times from ~12 sec or less to around 50 sec+.
Any program that you would have had running on it would load considerably slower (ie not instant).
If money is a problem and you are trying to save some it wont be the end of the world to not have a ssd, it is just one of those things that are nice to have.
