Will it be better to get a GTX 750 1G or a GTX 650 2G knowing they're almost the same price the difference is a few bucks my usage is media streaming (movies,TV shows...etc ) and light gaming.

and will it be worth it if i added like 25$ and got the GTX 750 with 2G ?

if someone would answer me quickly it would be appreciated cause i want to buy it by today or tomorrow max.

the 750 1G is almost the same as the 650 2g but higher by 5bucks or so
but the 750 2G is higher by around 22 $

so i should go with the 750 1G ....and wont the less 1G VRAM differ ?

If you're playing at 1080p I'd suggest the 2gig card, but not so much so that I'd go with a 650 over 750. But since you're only going to do what you consider light gaming, that's probably moot. A 1gb gtx 750 is more than enough for ultimately a fraction more and will cost you less over the long haul.

The 1GB GTX 750 will be better. The 750 has a slightly better average framerate, a much better minimum framerate, lower power draw, better overclocking due to the improved efficiency, and gsync support. It's overall on a newer and more sophisticated architecture than the GTX 650.

You'd only need 2GB if you could play the newest most demanding games (Watch Dogs, BF4) on the highest settings at 1080p or higher, with sampled antialiasing... Neither the GTX 650 nor GTX 750 can do that anyway (you'll be at med-high settings with minimal/post AA), so there'll be no difference from 1GB to 2GB on those cards. The 1GB GTX 750 is easily the better choice.

Putting 2GB of VRAM on the lowish-mid range cards is just a simple marketing tactic to make more money off of the less informed buyers. More sounds better, even though it's useless in 99% of situations.
