At-least start with that much, if your friend / relative is not satisfied with the performance, you can increase that to ~16GB OR add 8GB x2 [so total RAM adds upto ~24GB] modules dependent on your budget. I had a budget to satisfy.

Apart from that you can substitute the Intel motherboard with this one -- GIGABYTE GA-H77M D3H ~6950/-.

Hope this helps, Cheerio!
