What is sufficient amount of ram memory for a m5a99fx pro 2.0 with 6300 over clocked to 4.1 with a nvidia 750ti?
 
depends on your level of multitasking.
Games will rarely use more than 2-3gb by themselves. 8gb is fine for gaming if you are not running a lot of other apps concurrently.

For higher levels of multitasking, 2 x 8gb will do the job. Ram is cheap today, so if in doubt, get 16gb. There is no negative other than the added cost.

Go to the g.skil or any other ram web site and access their ram selection app. Enter your motherboard and you will get a list of supported ram kits.
