Hey guys,
This is my first gaming pc and due to my first gpu being doa I recieved a credit. I play games on 1080p 24" 60hz monitor and soon I'll be receiving a second one from a friend when he upgrades. I still plan to only play games on one monitor and use the second for movies, music and just general stuff. Main games I play is Wow and SC2 but I do tend to play a few newer AAA titles like hitman and bioshock. So I plan to get one card now and later on when it begins to drop off SLI to pick up the slack. So if I have 2 monitors will I need more then 2GB of vram or should I be going with 4GB for my set up?

In terms of heat to due to where I live being around 40*C and lack of air-conditioning I’m aiming for the coolest card possible.
*Note I haven’t gone with AMD becase I bought the 7970 first which was DOA and the replacement then was also faulty so I’ve decided to give Nvidia a go. Also this is pushing budget but I heard it was the best cooling?
