32 should be fine for most applications. Just be careful when purchasing to make sure the ram will work with your motherboard. I ran into an issue recently when I upgraded my PC from 32 to 64. I used pcpartpicker.com to confirm the ram would work with my motherboard, but when I installed it, my monitor stayed dark. Pulling the new ram restored my screen but reinstalling it made it go dark again. The ram was the same brand and same numbers, just a different model and a little less expensive than the two 16gb chips that were in the computer already. I returned the chips that didn't work and ordered the same as I had in the computer already. Worked without a problem.
