Looking for someone starting out with their first rig. She doesn’t play games much, just wants the quickest Windows performance possible. I recently installed a new PC with 32 GB and saw usage stay under 10 GB. Is that amount too much for just running Windows?

It's not very useful if you don't actually use it.

It all hinges on how she uses it. She might need 100 Chrome windows, each with many apps active, but 32 should be manageable.

Don't open too many tabs, it's a strange way of behaving. Chrome will start to cause problems before memory issues arise.
