Ram Shopping Advice?

So here is my moba

I am presently shopping for ram for my gaming pc I am building. My moba supports up to 32gb of ram I think this is nice and all but I feel I'm really wasting money past 8. My funds are depleted I may even settle for 4gb of ram. I do have the 8350 CPU that is why I'm considering 8gbs but at what point is to much Ram and what is to little.

For years, I've taken advice from http://www.crucial.com by running the online scanner. It will tell you what you have, what you can upgrade to and various stages to the top level. It also quotes you prices but you can take the advice without buying from them. If you do, and this is in the UK, shipping is usually same day and delivery the next.

depends on what the pc does for it life. if it a web browser and word and light photoshop then 4g is fine. if your going to game them spending money for one 8g dimm is a must. with any computer some of the ram is lost (over head to the mb and the os itself). the rest is used for aps and games. when you try to run muilt web browser windows and aps and you start running out of free ram....your new pc going to bog down. with ram today vendors switch the dimm that they use like pez candies. when you buy ram your better off buying a matched kit.
