8GB will likely be enough, if you have a 64-bit OS and strong graphics card. The 64-bit part is very important when dealing with large RAW files.

Samsung has a wide range of monitors, so be sure to get one with at least 1920x1080 resolution and 16.7 million colors and 1000 to 1 contrast ratio. NEC, Dell and Eizo are other options and you might consider 24" vs. 27".
