I would recommend 32gb of memory. I can easily reach 16gb of Ram usage running XP11+Ortho.

Although I'm normally an Intel fan, the latest Ryzen 3000 CPUs have just been announced and look very good so may be worth waiting for: https://www.anandtech.com/show/14407/amd-ryzen-3000-announced-five-cpus-12-cores-for-499-up-to-46-ghz-pcie-40-coming-77
