Hey guys, I am quite new to PC builds and I am going to build my first PC soon and I am choosing my GPU and I was wondering if I have 2 of 2GB video memory GPUs running in SLI will I have 4GB of video memory or still 2GB? Thank you in advance!

2GB, because that's just how SLI (or Crossfire for that matter) works now.

2Gb

You would be better off 'doing it right the first time' and grabbing a 4GB card now. Better performance when you do upgrade
