8gb RAM was fine in 2015, but in 2018 it is best to get 2x8gb. Then you'll never hit limitations with such a good system. Second note, used the AMD cooler, it is better than the T2. Last, get a better PSU that has 550W for any future changes. Is this in US or where?

Hey thanks for the response, I live in Australia so the overall price is a little different.

I'd still get 2x8gb RAM, although price sucks.

Get a cheaper motherboard, X370 Pro4 is good enough.

Will I use the 16gb? Or is it future proofing?

Little of both. I've seen games hit around 8.5gb of RAM usage. And it'll last you 5yrs but only 8gb you'll feel it now. My brother has 8gb and he is feeling the crunch and gonna sell his RAM to get a 2x8gb Kit.
