The GPUs have 16GB each, enough to do two sets of P-1 factoring. So 16GB would be more than enough for the mainboaord. However on a more cores board it would be nice to have 64GB.

But I reiterate that secondhand R7s are over priced. I can get 60% of the work done by one on an old Xeon Phi which cost me 600 bucks -- a lot of the price was import taxes from the USA.
