I am not exactly saying all these at the same time! Still okay with 4GB?
4GB ram can easily handle photoshop, Final Cut Pro, adobe programs and Windows OS but recording gameplay on the Macbook Pro with 4GB ram might not run as smoothly, unless you have a pretty decent video card along with that Macbook Pro. So I would say go for the 8GB Ram and 500 GB Macbook Pro if you have the money for it.
(What are you using to record gameplay? El Gato? or Happauge HDPVR?)
