However much you can afford.

16 GB Is fine, for most people, but get 2X8GB, So you have opportunity to upgrade later.

For gaming, 8GB (2* 4GB) of ram is the sweetspot.

what about 32GB if it bad then i go with 16GB

How can 32GB be "bad"? 512MB can be bad, 32GB cannot.

You can get 16GB, then if you find yourself using almost all of it, upgrade it to 32GB.

99% of the time, 32GB of RAM is overkill.

 

16GB is enough for most tasks.

i guess i will buy 8x4 but i will only use 16GB first then if i need more i will use 32GB anyway Thanks very much for your help  .

Please, games in teh future are going to need way more ram than that.

Yes, but you can upgrade ram without scrapping anything in your system and ATM 8GB is more than enough.

Go with less ram now, upgrade when you need it.

8GB is great, never exceeded that even if I put heavy workloads on my machine.

"Heavy" I run 7.4 GB Web browsing, with a few programs open.

Like.. 2000 tabs open? I'm rendering something now, also have 15 tabs and my ram usage is only 4.8 GB... Playing games is near that.

32 GB for gaming? wooah, not too fast! If I'm not wrong that's the amount of what LMG machines have..
