Have it running on Windows 10 and it's going well with the 16GB RAM it has. Was going to whack Linux on it, but I'll be using it for my degree and that is being troublesome enough as it is, without adding another complication!
I've not looked how much this board can take (ASUS P8Z68-V LX), but I imagine it's 32GB or something. I'm well out of date with processors and all that stuff now.
My Linux PC has 8GB and mostly runs fine. A little more might make it slightly quicker as I think it uses swap at times. I know memory is cheap these days.
I needed to upgrade it some time ago to play 'Legends of Elumia'. It has a couple of dated video cards in used for mining years ago, the extra RAM made a difference.

😀.. I am hardly current too. 64Gb is commonplace now, but I am only hosting 32Gb.

If you are not gaming, you will get away with it.
I don't play games and just use the motherboard graphics, so it would not impress anyone :)
