16gb is plenty right

there's no conceivable scenario where thirty-two gigabytes of random access memory would useful in a gaming scenario right

'cause 16gb vs 32gb is like a 5-day difference in shipping this monstrosity to me and i don't think i can handle edging that long

You could always add additional sticks later if you must, but 16GB is usually enough.

For gaming 8GB is sufficient, 16GB is very comfortable, 32GB is overkill and a complete waste of money. Especially with RAM prices being up right now.

I won't put anything less than 32 GB in my system but I like to do things like have 200+ browser tabs open while also playing games and running other background processes.

VRAM built into GPUs is way more important than system RAM these days

These

Although tbh if buying today I wouldnt go with anything less than 16, just because buying more later is slightly more annoying to me than paying extra upfront to not need to

An i7 is also overkill for gaming, but not as severe as 32GB RAM

For gaming, yes. But presumably you're not only going to use this device for gaming?
