Customizing a Sony Vaio, spend money on extra gig of ram or a video card?

Heya, so I'm buying a Sony Vaio, and I'm customizing a 15inch E series here. https://shop.sony.co.uk/shop/VAIO-Laptop…

I'm choosing an I3 processor, and I have just enough money to either upgrade from Intel Integrated graphics to an ATI Radeon 512mb, or upgrade the RAM from 3gb to 4gb DDR3. I use to game, but not at all anymore, the most graphic intensive program I'll use is probably photoshop maybe once every 2 months. My current computer can handle it, so it's that much of an issue really.

Which one would you recommend I upgrade, the RAM or the Graphics card?
Oh, and does the I3 processor use less battery than a pentium processor of the same speed?

Many Thanks

It's a 64bit windows btw :)
