16gb is plenty, just leave 2 slots empty in your motherboard so you can always upgrade later if you have to

You don't need 32GB of RAM unless you're running a few VMs or doing video editing on your PC.

I'd agree with the 16. You mentioned that you were a streamer, so maybe if you did decide to become a freelance video creator + editor, you could make it 32gb. Even then, 16gb is plenty.........for now.

16GB is going to be enough for gaming, streaming, and some editing.
