But maybe I dont need it Maybe send a good 2gb card for cheaper im just builing a good gaming pc. Also what would be the best CPU to compliment this card or the card yu send me

If you're just going with 1080p gaming, 2gb is a good amount already. You don't need more than 2gb.

Well, you can go with a r9 270x, but if you can find it cheaper without the extra v-ram that will be better. Extra v-ram will help of course. but 2gb is already enough.

The only games i've seen that can use more than 2gb is battlefield 4 on ultra/1080p. Maybe crysis 3 too.
But the price difference seems to be small between 4gb and 2gb. Just make sure that when you make your purchase, go with sapphire/msi/asus/gigabyte as they are known for their reputation.

Good luck.
