need some help with my build its been years since ive been in the pc game. im thinking of using a amd 8350 cpu with the evga geforce gtx 770 4gb acx but im thinking i only want to run one 30" screen to game on at 1080p so should i just get the 2gb? saving $100 would be nice but at the same time the cpu is kinda old and i dont want the new games to come out saying you need a gpu with 4gb. please help
 
Solution
The general rule of thumb I go by is:

1920x1200 / 1080 = 1GB is adequate, 2GB is preferred
2560x1600 = 2GB is adequate, 3GB is preferred
