I and my mom struggle with deciding between 8 and 16 GB of RAM (I prefer 16 GB)

The purpose of the PC sets the RAM requirements.

Designed for balanced gameplay across various titles (Minecraft, Satisfactory, Stormwork, occasionally Snowrunner and similar)

satisfactory becomes more intricate as your world expands, yet the other titles would function well with 8GB of memory. of course, securing 8GB now and upgrading later remains a viable choice.

? Sure, once Windows starts up with 8GB RAM you really have very little left for anything else. With today's prices for DDR4 memory, I’d definitely pick 16GB instead of sticking with just 3GB. It’s under $50 for two 8GB sticks, and buying just one 8GB stick would be a mistake because you’d miss the dual-channel benefit. Plus, 4GB modules aren’t available anymore...

It seems like you're suggesting a 16GB storage option. Clarify if this is for your mom or yourself, and whether you're browsing emails, the web, or playing games.
