Just the OS on the SSD. Virtual Memory is usually on the same drive as the OS... And when a game starts demanding more memory than you have in Ram, it starts using Virtual memory instead.
Of course your mileage may vary depending on how memory intensive a game is and how reliant they are on the swap file.
But I have seen some games pass 8GB of ram used on my system.. Once saw Battlefield 1 consume 15GB.
But because you don't really have much of a concern for system responsiveness, you might just be better off finding a cheap 16GB kit of fast, low-latency DDR3 Ram, it may help boost your CPU performance too.
