Thanks, this is probably what I'll go with. Can you point me to any resources on OCing my GPU?

Why do you need 4GB of GDDR5 if you're playing on 1280x1080?

My monitor is probably the next thing I'll upgrade, but I wanted to get this first.

4GB 760 seems pointless to me. It'll only make a difference at high resolutions, but the 760 can't handle running games smoothly at over 1080p anyway.

Actually, I just bought that very card and it does run smoothly at 1080p. I also picked the card because of a heavily modded Skyrim and I wanted the 4gb to handle enb and a lot of textures. I live in Florida and it's HOT and that card is rated as one of the coolest cards out there.

Would the 2gb card still be able to run BF3/4 and Modded Skyrim at high settings?

Yes 4GB GDDR5 and 2GB won't make the difference on a 1080p monitor unless you have like 3-4 Screens lol

Yup. Will make a difference for mods in Skyrim though. And it is indeed a very cool and quiet card. As you can see from my sig, I have the 2gb variant of the same card. It never goes over 64C in Crysis 3 overclocked. :)
