gpu help please

[erhelm83]

So I've asked alot of questions and got alot help from many people. Thanks for answering my dumb questions. But I've narrowed down to 3 gpu's. My question is, they all seem to be close in clock speeds but will the 4G ram card be worth the extra 50$? Is this a good choice ?
And I just bought a 120hz monitor, will I have the proper hookups? Sorry for being dumb I haven't been update with this stuff for last 6 yrs. Thanks for any help.

if you can wait two weeks or so the newer r300 cards are droping. they may be a better buy then the 960 for the same or a little more.

It depends on the games you want to play and how much you will value to play them at high resolutions. The article I've listed below gives a small overview of what types of games would benefit from the 4gb version (spoiler: most don't to any appreciable extent). As far as whether the FTW edition is worth it, only if your interested in fan noise since its not really much better than the other versions. Mind you, you do get WItcher 3 with those 4gb versions so maybe that might make it worth it for you.
