It depends on what you want to do.

Proxmox has RAM optimization tricks bolted in so a small home server will do 
fine with 16 or even 8 GB of RAM. For a small deployment you can get a cheap 
Poweredge and find yourself working with a 600 bucks investment.

If you want to run in the range of 15-20 VMs or containers, you are looking at 
32 GB or so as a target.

My suggestion is to buy a cheap Poweredge and add RAM and drives if you notice 
you are falling short.
