I have recently bought a zotac gtx 750 ti 2gb gddr5 gpu, I have only 2 gb of ram, but I have ordered a 4 gb stick from g.skill. Is it safe to play games on my pc with only 2 gb of ram or should I wait for the 4 gb stick from g.skill to arrive and then play?

There is nothing "unsafe" about using insufficient RAM, it will simply mean you'll struggle to run some apps & games.
But definitely 2GB is not enough even if you don't play games on your PC and it doesn't have a gaming card installed.
Modern Windows versions need 4GB minimum for acceptable performance. Remember, Windows takes a fair slice of RAM for itself, that's before you even start running apps & games.

You always want at least 8gb of ram for intensive gaming. Preferably dual channel ram aswell. Your GPU will not play a significant factor on your ram, that's why gpus now have vram, your has 2gb of vram which is good for medium to high settings at 720, for 1080p and above your going to need more vram on your card, 3gb_4gb. The vram is where your gpu stores the shades and mappings that it can reuse to render games.
I suggest a dual channel 2x4gb ram set. That will do you fantastically. And in the future you should either buy a copy of your card to crossfire/sli for a total of 4gb vram, or just buy a new card 3-4gb.
For example grand theft auto 5 uses up to 4gb of vram, fallout 4 uses up to 4gb of vram. That is max settings of course.
Your memory modules do not play a real key role in the gpu rendering of games, at most it will result in a 1%-3% increase in fps if you actually needed the ram in the first place.
The gpu mostly communicates with the cpu, so the better your cpu the faster it can handle the point float performance and the rendering of vertices for the gpu.
To improve graphics you will want to look at first a gpu with a good amount of vram, 8gb is overkill on vram, you want 8gb of memory, and a cpu that will be able to keep up with the gpu to avoid bottlenecks.
Hope this helps and explains in more detail.

Well to answer your question which I did the best to my ability. You want 8gb of ram for gaming reccomended. 4gb I s bare mjnimum. Your cpu will be fine with your card. Now all you need is some ram, preferably a 2x4gb 8 g total dual channel for best performance.
The ram is like 5-25% relevant to gaming. The major reason for ram is when you don't have enough vram, back then cards had practically no vram and ram was very jmportant. Now anything over like 16gb for gaming is complete overkill.
I only use 8gb of ram for my gaming. I never max it and always have good results.
So if you want to avoid a bottleneck, buy more ram
