What combination of computer hardware?

[WK95]

i5-5200U with Nvidia 840M VS. i7-5500U with Intel HD Graphics 5500?

For Siemens NX, should I prioritize graphical or processing capabilities?

Depends on what you would like to do with NX...

If you want do perform heavy FEM calculations I would go for more processor capacity, otherwise graphical...

If I were in the market for a new CAD computer, I'd start with the list of officially supported hardware:

You don't have to buy something on the list, but if you have problems when running supported hardware, Siemens support can and will help you resolve the issues.

Do not use the Intel integrated graphics as it will slow you down and is not certified. Go with any Nvidia chip/board so it is doing the OpenGL processing.
Fastest processor you can justify.
256GB Solid State Drive for your primary drive, unless using this as a standalone laptop, then maybe 512GB
512GB-1TB hd for storage

If you will be using the manufacturing module you will need a decent processor and graphics.
