just depends to be honest on what you're running. If you're using an older operating system and/or overall don't have amazing specs than adding more RAM may or may not be that useful (beyond specific heavy memory using individual apps and games).

In the end you can have all the RAM you want but it won't be that useful in comparison to the graphics card/processor. Also if you're gaming with an accessible PC tower adding RAM is by far the easiest thing to change later

at this point 8GB RAM is basically a requirement for most games and 16GB recommended for many, so to be safe I guess I'd recommend go for 16? but it honestly is hardly the biggest factor on how you're going to run the new games. 8GB would be fine for most things if your other parts are more than adequate for the games you'll be playing
