You shouldn't need more than 8GB, unless you do production work. (Video rendering, or a ton of Adobe work).

Not particularly, however if someone asks for specs... 16gb sounds better :noh:

I only just noticed the price he has for the R9 380, you can get it for like 175 on Amazon. You lose 4GB of VRAM, but you don't need more than that these days.

The GTX 970 is more powerful, but that is 250-ishfor 4GB (3.5GB). So it would technically be a step up. :hurr:
