Carl Angelo De Leon :
for now you wouldnt need anything higher than 2gb for 1080p in terms of gaming. but it is "for now", if you can afford the 4gb version ill say go for it, you MIGHT need it in the future
The 4GB is still within my budget of $1,000 (for the total setup) and I am trying to future proof my PC the best I can so if you think it MIGHT help in the future, I'll get it. Thanks!
P.S. This is the rest of my setup (in case anyone was interested), they all arrived today and the GPU/case is all that I need to get.
