3K on a 14" display isn't a big win in my estimation. It should support 3K (or even 4K) with the discrete GPU on an external display, though.

On RAM, currently using all 8GB RAM + am using 10GB swap on the Mac. Traditionally Windoze isn't as good with memory management as *nix, so factoring that in, I'm already at ~24GB used. I can see myself hitting my head on 32GB by year-end, maybe sooner with all the extra performance and being able to run more things simultaneously.
I had originally planned on buying a P50 once they were released, but the quad cores available are very power hungry, and it ships with a 190W power supply. I still travel regularly and was concerned about both the weight and the ability to use/charge it in-flight. At this point I'm waiting for the T460P's variants with the i7-6700HQ or i7-6800HQ processors (4 cores/8 threads) and discrete GPU to become available. 32GB should last me a few years.
