MBP 13" 2011 Self Upgrade Help

[MojoRed]

Hi,

Firstly, Apologies for the several questions in one thread but they kind of all go together. Also first time ever posting on a forum so don't yet know what the posting 'etiquette' is...

I've just bought a 13" MBP Spec:

2.8GHz dual-core
Intel Core i7
4GB 1333MHz
750GB 5400-rpm1
Intel HD Graphics 3000

Needed to buy the smallest one for space reasons but want to get it as 'beefed' up as possible to use for HD video editing. I know I'm limited but was hoping with the right advice I could make it half decent.

So... What would you do?

I was thinking an SSD to replace SuperDrive and a larger and faster drive to replace the current HD. Also to upgrade the RAM to 16GB. Anything else ?

Any advise and recommendations on hardware would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in Advance,

M
