I m supposed to be buying parts to build a Minecrafting (playing AND recording) computer for my kids, but the guy who s building it didn t give me a list of parts. So I m going off of this list: http://elitegamingcomputers.com/how-to-get-a-computer-for-minecraft-without-spending-a-ton-of-money/ (the $500 build). But the video card listed, the Gigabyte, isn t available via Amazon Prime, and I really need it to be. I noticed the dimensions are different, but the Sapphire is actually smaller, so I don t imagine that would be an issue. I just don t know about the differences in performance and such, since one is a 2GB & the other s a 4GB. Some of the articles I read said that a good graphics card is the most important part of the build, so does that mean that the Sapphire would be better? I really have no idea what I m doing, and could use the help.
