It's important to point out that within the PC space, the only reason for 16GB+ memory is not for gaming by a long shot; it's for content producers, particularly those working with huge image files, 4K video production and artists working in 3D content who tend to run image processing, video production and 3D production suites simultaneously.
Go ahead and check what type of memory a high end ($1600 build) gaming set up uses: it's 8GB. That's right: 8GB. The money used for more than that is better allocated towards a 256GB SSD. The video card (R9 290X) uses 4GB of GDDR5.
