Both builds are the same in every aspect(CPU, mobo, ram speed,etc), and suddenly Nvidia decides to release a lower cost 2gb VRAM version of the gtx 1050 ti in March..

Which is better for 1080p gaming (and gaming only) 21.5 monitor, high to ultra settings, almost everything maxed out.
8gb system RAM and a gtx 1050 ti 2gb VRAM
or
4gb system RAM with a gtx 1050 ti 4gb VRAM

oh, and did I mention for gaming only?
 
Well you will want 4GB VRAM if you are pushing higher quality settings. I do not recommend sticking with only 4GB of system memory at all. I wouldn't get it personally.
