And you can take the drive out without any issue. If you want to breathe new life into your laptop, you could replace the SuperDrive with a HDD caddy + SSD.
I wouldn't bother upgrading RAM if you have 8GB already.

that ribbon is rubbing along that aluminum case on the bottom. nothing a piece of electrical tape to lower the damage on it moving forward
Already on SSD.. albeit only at 240gb, but work docs/xls is on cloud. movies n stuff gets thrown into an external hdd anyways. I dont see the need to spend extra on adding an SSD to the superdrive
I also need a new battery as its been 527cycles already.

I have a top spec 2015 iMac i7 with 16GB and a 3TB Fusion setup and although it's blazing fast I don't notice a dramatic difference in speed with video rendering but I'm sure gaming would be a lot different.

hmm good to know, I could be wrong here, but for your situation, video+ps+final cut rendering/processing requires more CPU power even tho the ram helps?
Main question would be..wait for Skylake intel chips to drop on rMBP or suck it up and get a rMBP 13in with 16gb ram...
