Gigabyte nVidia GTX960, 4GB GDDR5 128bit Dual-link DVI-I*1 / DVI-D*1 / DisplayPort*1 / HDMI*1 rev.1.0 product code GA-VC-N960OC-4GD
The msi is 293.08 euro and the gigabyte is 237.71
the msi is about with 50 euro's more expensive and im wondering if its worth the 50 euro to buy the msi.Or if you prefer the gigabyte is 261.60 $ and the msi is 322.53 $.Which should i buy?

If you are talking about the Gigabyte G1 gaming, it is actually slightly better than the MSI one. Also 4GB of VRAM will yield 0% ~ 1% increase in performance (1080P monitors) when it comes to gaming so you are better off with the 2 GB version.
