8GB of RAM is sufficient for running modern games, but it may not handle the most demanding titles without optimization.

Alright, that's clear. For now, yes. Looking ahead, just when they require more, increase the supply.
I'm maxing out my 8 gigabytes of RAM. It's holding up now, but memory prices are dropping fast. A 4 gig stick costs around $30, and adding another 4 gigs will give you more headroom. My RAM is usually running at 80-90%.
It seems you're looking for guidance on RAM requirements for gaming. Generally, DDR4 is the standard when you exceed 8GB, and purchasing 2x4GB allows for future upgrades, which is useful for activities like streaming on Twitch where higher capacities perform better.
8GB should suffice at the moment. Many current games should run smoothly on that amount.
For casual gaming, 8GB should suffice, and you can always increase it later.
I recall a time when 8GB of DDR3 RAM was priced at $40, and my 16GB model was $90. That happened roughly two years back.
Yeah, there was a factory fire and the ram was around $10 per gig. I remember my 8 gigs of Corsair RAM costing between $80 and $90 at the peak. I think I paid about $60.
