What's the lowest ram consumption i can expect on Arch ?

im using Arch with the stock kernel + dwm/st + pure alsa + ~700 packages(~250mb on idle, dwm activated).

    You shouldn't want to decrease your RAM usage. It is there it may as well be used.

      But to be more clear/TLDR, make sure you're looking at "available" RAM not "free" ram (if your tool doesn't show this try free -h), and ignore buffer/cache usage, as the kernel will free this up as needed for other programs, but otherwise uses it to cache/accelerate I/O
