When comparing both of the above, is 2gb dedicated graphics necessary for gaming* when a 4th gen Intel i5 is being used? I have the option for both, but would like to know if the extra money spent is necessary. Thanks

*League of Legends, Battlefield, etc.

It depends on your resolution, or amount of screens! For a single 1920x1080, 1gb is fine. But let's say you want 2k+, on triple, or even one, monitor(s)? You'd be wanting the 2gb. Hope this helps!

I plan on using a single monitor. Just to clarify, if a single monitor (below 2k) is used, it will run common gaming titles at average+ settings without causing harm to any component of the PC?
Thanks so much for your response.

There should be no problem running them on ultra!

No problem. I'm happy to help.
