I bought this pc recently and wanted to upgrade the GPU. I know I need to upgrade the psu as well.

 

I was thinking about getting the Asus Strix gtx 960 but I am not sure whether I should get the 2gb or 4 gb version.

 

Here is the PC: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/lenovo-desktop-8gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive-black/5958014.p?id=1219178692600&skuId=5958014&ref=199&loc=je6NUbpObpQ&acampID=1&siteID=je6NUbpObpQ-onJcCLE3Fstu2BTCUg%E2%99%A5%E2%99%A5%E2%99%A5Q

 

And I was thinking about getting this psu: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139050&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker,%20LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

 

Will there be a difference playing at 1080p between the 2gb and 4gb cards and which one would you suggest? (Not looking to spend more than $250 and looking for an nVidia product) 

 

Any other tips are appreciated!

if you're getting a 4G 960, you might aswell get a 970. More RAM doesn't increase the amount of horses pulling the cart.

Just get the 2 gig version because the 4 gig version cant even use all 4 gigs without lagging in games.
