This parameter entirely depends on the amount of RAM and swap you have on your server, and how much memory you want to be allocable. See https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/vm/overcommit-accounting. It's usually a good practice to not allow more than your RAM to be alloced, and let a at least a bit of memory non allocable to make sure that you keep at least some OS cache, but that's up to you.
