[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1644398"] Without meaning to be disrespectful, are you so averse to reading and learning a little more about video cards that you can't be bothered to check out few links, particularly when doing so will allow you to make a more informed decision on a $1500-2000 investment? Learn something new every day, I always say. It will certainly do you no harm to do a little research and learning on your own rather than being spoon-fed some "best guesses" from people who yes, probably know a bit more on the topic -- but don't know your particular needs, future needs, economic situation, domestic setup and a hundred other factors that could render our advice fairly moot. If you're still at the point where you're debating such basics as the size of the machine -- you need to do more research that we can only offer very limited help with. "Get the best you can afford" has been the general theme of the advice given to you so far, and I think in terms of future-proofing your investment that is a sound choice. But there is also such a thing as overbuying: spending for a 4GB card for someone who just watches YouTube videos and does Facebook is a ludicrous waste of money. [/QUOTE]
