Hello, Good Morning, Good Evening, etc.

 

Are 960s worth buying at 4gb or rather to get a 2gb?

 

Thanks for the help and by the way if I say something really stupid it's because I still suck at pc components.

That depends how much money you're willing to spend, what you want to do with the GPU and how much the difference is between the 2GB and 4GB in your area.
