Apparently the 970 I have [url=http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-video-card-strixgtx970dc2oc4gd5]listed[/list] has 4 GB of memory, so I guess I'm covered there. Let's be realistic though - for the price range of my rig, I'm not going to have a PC that's going to be running SC at 4K with 120 fps. It should at least get over the min specs, though, and it'll handle most of the stuff I play now just fine.
Re: SLI; noted, will not do that. Might save up for a new GPU maybe 2 years from now, far easier than the hassle of two cards. Also read up on the issues with stuttering, so no thanks. What if I want to run multiple monitors in the future though?
With all the suggestions I've received I'm currently making a spreadsheet of all the various parts and comparing orices, performance etc. Will eventually post a revised build once that's done.
