How Much Ram?

[Dodgeyou]

So i'm building my parents a new PC as their Gateway PC has almost had it's 10th anniversary  But I was wandering about how much ram to put into it, I was gonna buy an 8gb kit but then I started thinking, should I get them just 4gb, because the literal most I have ever seen them have open at once was the Antivirus running in the background and like 2 tabs in google chrome

Just grab 8.

Depends on how much you want to spend. If 8 is in budget grab 8 but you can always start with 4 and upgrade in needed to 8

8 is fullproof. 8 will last many years with no issues especially because they aren't doing anything too difficult for the PC

8GB would be better.

It has always been 8GB for the best case usage. You can get Single 8GB sticks for pretty cheap. Only about like 10$ more. It's worth it just for the sake of just in case. You don't always need it, but when you do. It pretty awesome to have just to prevent freezing up.
