i'd recommend 16GB for a decent capacity.

something like this : https://www.overclockers.co.uk/g.sk...hannel-kit-f4-3600c16d-16gtzkw-my-102-gs.html

or: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/team...3200mhz-dual-channel-kit-black-my-08l-tg.html for less money, and less speed (not that you will notice in games)

16GB would do fine

I would tell you but I can't remember.

The above are expensive, I'd get one of the following

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C15 3000MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2B30= £139.99
• 1 x Team Group Vulcan T-Force 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-19200C14 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit - Grey (TLGD416G24= £127.99

Total: £276.68
(includes shipping: £8.70)

Which brings up a decent point, have a google for some memory speed vs gaming or whatever. see what speed suits you before buying.

This is the right thing to check, no point saving a few £'s if you lose performance on a machine you will own for years.
