Hardware question

I want to make a homelab with 2 PC-s(Lets call them PC-1 and PC-2), but for now I am running only PC-1 my dad found in the trash. I just installed proxmox on PC-1 and I want to make VM-s with TrueNAS, OMV and Jellyfin(as a docker) for now. But I worry that my 4gb of ddr3 RAM wont be enough, as I see these setups with 128gb, 64gb of RAM. PC-2 is still a work in progress, as i need to buy aditional ddr4 RAM for it, but I am thinking of also installing Proxmox on it and doing some projects like an add-blocker or maybe even swapping the roles of PC-1 and PC-2.

QUESTIONS:

-Should I upgrade the RAM on PC-1?

-How much ddr4 RAM is needed to run a non stutery homelab?

These are my specs:

PC-1:

-4GB ddr3 RAM,

-NVIDIA Quadro 2000 and

-Intel i7 3rd gen.

PC-2:

-?GB ddr4 RAM,

-Ryzen 5 1600 and

-Radeon HD 4890.
