You will be fine, I have a gtx 760 2gb, gaming on a 1080p monitor and browsing + watching graphs on a second 1080p monitor, I never run out of vram.

I would say the 4gb would be a good investment especially with dual monitors, many games are starting to use a lot more vram for example bf4 is in some cases using over 2gb of vram. 4gb is more future proof I actually just ordered the PNY GTX 770 4gb for 358.99 on amazon check it out the reviews are great its stock overclocked and comes with a good warranty.

He's talking about one screen for chatting and browsing and one for gaming, he will be fine.

I understand that but still even just browsing the web can cause slight strain on the prob not enough to hurt his performance but he states he live streams and that is very GPU and CPU intensive.

The biggest difference he would get would be something like a 1 FPS difference (my fps difference was 0.7) hardly worth the extra cost of the 4gb version.

Its not really the second monitor that really is a threat when I said it uses over 2gb of vram in some case's was with one monitor 1080p Ultra.

Maybe for BF4 but in the future there's gonna be a good chance that's gonna bottle neck such a beast of a card i wouldn't risk it IMO.

I just noticed you already bought the card haha sorry you can dual and it wont really affect your performance. I was saying "assuming in my head that you were on the verge of buying a 770 and you wanted to know if 2GB's was enough" that the 4gb is the best way to go for the near future.
