The price is about the same, I like to play games like Dota 2, Counter-strike Global Offensive, War Thunder, Street Fighter IV and many multiplayer games. I also usually like to multi task so I leave chrome open when Im playing games. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, go with the 4gb and the 1080p monitor. Ram is always easily up-gradable if you feel the need of the extra 4gb. Those CPU's are very similar aswell, however performance between those would be so small it wouldn't be noticeable. The GPU's 4gb of ram makes up for the CPU power anyway.

Just a question, how do you know if you can mod the laptop and add more ram?

Search it on Youtube, ive seen the video where he adds more RAM to a laptop. Not as easy as a desktop, but seems pretty simple if you feel the need that you actually have to upgrade.
