was getting some parts together for a new build and was looking at a gtx 760. i saw the 2gb version for 250$ and then there is a 4gb model for around 300$ (USD). this card will be used for editing, graphic design, and gaming.

now, i know the 760 isn't exactly the most powerful card on the market and the extra gigs won't exactly benefit me at the moment because i'm not running a multi-monitor setup (will be in the near future). but my question is would it be better to just plan ahead and get the 4gb so i'm ready for multi-monitors when i have the cash? and is the extra 2gb and 13mhz in the clock speed really worth the 50$?

please don't suggest radeon cards, i enjoy using the cuda cores for when i'm editing.

The extra 2 gb of vram is only worth it if you're doing multi-display setup. 2 GB is perfectly fine on 1080p. But considering that you're wanting to do multi-display in the future, I would just spend a few bucks and get the 4 GB.
