I'm starting to get into live streaming and now I had to drop my video settings from ultra to medium otherwise I lag on stream. The only game I play is WoW and that's the only thing I'll live stream.

My question is, should I get the 2 or 4 gb version if the GTX 760? I run dual monitors and am always watching other streams/YouTube videos on one screen and playing wow on another. I'm also thinking about getting a third monitor as well.

Quick specs:
MSI mobo P-something (can't SLI)
i5 2500k @4ghz
8gb ram
Thermaltake 600w PSU
Asus 6850 graphics card

What the hell, i submit the answer and it disappeared. Anyway go for the 2GB i use Dual-screen too and don't use more then 1.5GB(i use 1080p) while gaming. And this price of the 760 4GB isn't worth it.

2gb's is fine for 1080p as long as you're not running a crazy resolution, and wow really doesn't use to much video memory my peak usage for ram in wow is only about 2/3's of what I have and I run 2 monitors one being 2560x1440 and the other being my older 1920x1080p monitor and I can watch movies ..... on the other screen look at stuff just fine without it interfering with my game play frames. if you really would of been willing to spend that much maybe a radeon 7970 would be more for you because they have currently better support for multi monitor setups and it comes in at the same prices as the gtx 760 4gb version

Probably always a good idea to go with the same manufacture of your motherboard, I personally like the evga acx cooler the most because for one, it's really advanced and one of the best coolers out there atm, two the thing is very slim and is probably the sexiest card for the 700 series coolers
