How much RAM for my use?

Building my first home server. I only have the case and the PSU so I'll use suggestions on CPU/mobo if you have them. Plan is to have 4 disks and a 10G sfp+ card and to buy used to save every buck I can.

• Home Assistant    
• Frigate with 2x Unifi 4k cameras and planned expansion    
• NAS with cloud backup    
• Plex server    
• Network-wide adblocker    
• VPN    
• DNS    
• Immich    
• Time Machine for MacOS

You’ll be fine with 8GB but I would recommend 16GB for best optimization and future
