Hello, my current build is:
I5 4670k, 3.4 Ghz(turbo to 4.3)
Asus Z87-K MOBO
Asus GTX 770 2gb edition
8gb DDR3 1600Mhz RAM
750w power supply
128gb SSD
1TB HDD

I just wanted a clear answer if I should upgrade my graphics card to a 4gb edition, I do plan to get another monitor to go with my single 1080p in the near future maybe even a higher res duel setup. I hear some games are getting stuck at the 2gb of VRAM, I found http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gigabyte-GTX770-Nvidia-Graphics-Memory/dp/B00GNE0BVK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1394897543&sr=8-3&keywords=gtx+770+4gb for £30 more than I paid for mine, I could send mine back and get that. Is this worth it? Is gigabite worse than ASUS and is it worth future proofing my card for a small amount of extra money. Thanks for reading guys! :)
 


It doesn't really future-proof it IMO.
 
HI bud.
yer i was thinking of getting the exact same deal on this on amazon. i think the 770 2gb is a rock solid choice for me as i only game on single displays, either the 42inch Tv or 27inch monitor both full HD. Not sure about multi-monitor setup however. Some say the extra Vram should come in handy for that situation.
 
More VRAM is important to have for higher resolution setups which include pushing more pixels with more monitors. The ASUS model is my favorite model and the ASUS DCUII cooler is the top on the market.

If you're only adding one more 1080p monitor then your current GPU is fine. If you want to move to a 1440p monitor or triple monitor setup then it would be worth the jump to the Gigabyte GTX 770 WF 4GB http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00GNE0BVK.
