8GB of system ram is the minimum required, 16GB or higher is recommended. Yes, you will get the most from it without any problems.

I had issues (out of memory crashes in a couple games) with 16GB of RAM and pagefile disabled. You will be fine if you leave your windows pagefile alone.

Ah....sarcasm....
 
Seriously, WHY do people disable the pagefile? It doesn't make any sense. It's a FEATURE. The OS can page-out temporarily not needed resources to HD. It means more physical memory available when it's required. If you disable the PF you're wasting real memory because then more physical memory is used for what otherwise could have gone on the HD.
 
It is NEVER a good idea to disable the PF, and by the way today it is also better to actually "let system manage" the PF and not set a fixed size. Modern Windows is very good at memory handling.
 
That being said:
 
I JUST upgraded from 8GB to 16GB since I thought that GTA V might need it, but to be honest, I think I could've done fine with "only" 8GB. I know that 8GB sounds low, but TBH I haven't come across a game or app (let alone daily work on PC) which would even use the 8GB. That being said, for enormous games like GTA V, The Witcher etc. 16GB seems just right...but I would not know what would justify 32GB or more...UNLESS you do video editing or something.

Correct! Since something (NVidia drivers...or the OS itself?) is actually CREATING a 10GB-16GB (!) pagefile once videomemory (!!) gets full! (Like in certain Benchmark tests like EVGA OC Scanner). When PF is off or there is not enough space on HD, it tells you "out of memory" (since it cannot create the pagefile)..even if the app/game itself doesn't even remotely USE the 16GB. (I actually had to increase my OS partition to make room for the larger pagefile after I upgraded from 8GB to 16GB.)
Bottom line: Let system manage PF....AND make sure you have at least as much free space on your HD like your total memory. (Although I think in games/apps etc. you wont hardly ever see this gigantic pagefile, merely in tests like EVGA OC Scanner.)

good :)

My comment is with regard to two cards @ 4k; don't think you will have any issues unless you for some reason disable your pagefile.

I'm running a Titan X with 8GB of ram with no issues. I've used up to 10GB of vram so far total. I'm trying to buy 32GB of ram though mainly because I need it for photoshop/video editing, not because of the Titan X.
 
Can't let both of my laptops have more ram than my desktop. 

I've ran Titan X SLI with only 16GB without issues.

Just be sure to manually set the file size.  Windows set my virtual allocation to 28GB after I installed the Titan X.  I guess, mostly, because it was there and available to do so.

Yeah on my laptop with 32GB of ram, the pagefile was set to about 32+gb so I definitely have been through that.
