Having a GPU with more vRAM is nice if you're playing high end games like GTA V for example. I have a 960 4gb and with all the correct settings I use a little over 2.5gb of vRAM.


So yeah 4gb is the way to go.

Thanks for the reply man, I will try and go for the 4GB. But i will see.

A 4GB R7 370 is an absolute waste. The GPU is going to use as much VRAM as it has, so a 2GB card would be perfectly sufficient. The 370 isn't a high end card anyway. You won't be adding an aftermarket cooler to the GPU, since it already has one, the MSI cooler. AM3+ is terrible. 10/10 do not buy, especially for a new rig.

It's about 25 euros more expensive, but you get a better CPU, newer RAM, and a much better GPU. As well as a much better quality PSU, which is definitely nice. I'd recommend an SSD, even a 120GB SSD for your OS would be handy. If you want a 4GB 380, get this;

10 euros extra isn't too bad, so this 4GB 380 would be fine, but if it's too expensive, the 2GB 380 would be plenty.

"4gb a waste" no when has more vRAM ever been a waste? Games these days are becoming more demanding with vram usage and you except his 2gb to keep up? It's like saying someone with 8gb of ram shouldn't of upgraded from 4gb or 6gb.

RAM and VRAM are entirely different. If you're going to quote me, quote me properly. I never said "4gb a waste". A 2GB R9 380 will wipe the floor with a 4GB R7 370.

Thanks for the build but i would like to keep the FX-6300. But i may just change the Cpu because i like the GPU. Thanks

Don't. The FX-6300 is terrible. The i3-6100 wipes the floor with it.

Well no shit the R7 370 is a weak card but without OP stating a realistic budget the R7 370 is probably all he can get so 4gb is necessary.

And the vRAM vs RAM wasn't a comparison it was a statement to show that upgrading is necessary.

It's like you're too stupid to comprehend sentences.
