Remember that you're not at all required to use ranged spellstrike; you can cast scorching ray with spell combat and without spellstrike and it should actually work better outside 1 range increment. Or spell combat + mirror image (or shield, versatile weapon, haste etc.) is a standby for that matter.
On other spells for use with spellstrike specifically note ray of exhaustion for future use (stops enemies being able to charge you, even if they make the save) and if you can get goblin-only spells mudball is pretty good.

One of the times that True Strike is a decent choice for a prepared spell (especially for long distance sniping). Also Color Spray is always fun (Pocket Sand.Spell)
Make sure to look at the 9th level arcana Reach Spell. That will turn all melee touch spells into close range category for your ranged spellstrike; so don't be afraid to start choosing/buying other spells that aren't ranged.
