I'll be getting barebones and adding my own components.
The HDMI 2.1 can run 4K @ 120Hz, the DP can run 4K@165Hz and the two USB 4 ports can run 8K @ 60Hz. I am using 7940HS and running a LG 4K 165 Hz Monitor at 120Hz using the HDMI 2.1

For Ram, going for 5600 MHz will give a decent boost to your integrated GPU but they costs a bit more than the most common 4800 MHz modules.
I think Crucial DDR5 5600 MHz 16GB module at $46 in newegg is a decent one. Get two of them for dual channel.

These new MiniPCs are amazing. I am becoming a MinisForum fanboy? I will also be pre-ordering Minisforum Project DRFXI [notebookcheck.net] or the BD770i [minisforum.com] if they release it with the 7945HX. The motherboard would pair really well with the JONSBO D31 MESH Case. [newegg.com]
The AMD 780M mobile is amazing on board graphics. However, Intel will soon be releasing FASTER iGPU CPUs soon. This will be so good for consumers. It is exciting to think of what the performace of budget offerings will be in a couple of years! ...or even this time next year.
