For gaming you don’t really need 16GB yet. Maybe after the next gen of consoles is out, developers might start using that much RAM. But then OP can just add a stick or two
16GB is probably fine for most games right now but there are already some games where you will start to notice some drawbacks.
A game like Cyberpunk has a minimum RAM requirement of 12GB, but features in the game can cause it to eat more than that. And someone playing on PC may also want to have things like Discord streaming and a web browser going at the same time which can further eat into the budget.
Better to have more than you need IMO and future-proof a little bit, and RAM is not that expensive.

Yeah, 16gb is the minimum requirement for a pc nowadays I’d say. If you can get it ofc.
Fair. But since RAM is one of the easiest parts to upgrade you don’t need to future-proof it much imo. Just add a stick when it’s cheaper
Unless you’re in the US, then now might be the best time to buy electronics before prices continue to rise, haha.
I laugh because I’ll cry if I don’t.
