Definitely 16gigs...but with the spike of RAM prices, get a single 8gig stick so long...
If you have a SSD drive, 8gigs should feel fine also

I just went to 32gb. It's funny, Windows now shows as using 50% of the memory despite no increase in usage. I'm guessing it might have something to do with the pagefile allocation. I really can't feel a difference.

I got 8Gb with my machine a while back ( 2 x 4Gb ), gaming seems fine ( Doom , Dues Ex etc ). I would like to bump to 16/32 but I can do that later as I still have two slots free. I know some boards only feature two slots these days so its really up to you but one can never really go wrong with additional ram.
2c = 8Gb fine, 16Gb future proofing, 32Gb overkill\waste ( good chance of board/proc replacement before requiring that much )
