So i am looking at GPU and there is different models all with different about of RAM attached with various OC and x thrown about on the end of them.

For it seems the higher the model with more RAM seems to be the best but i'm sure i am wrong on this most likely.

Bottom line what should i look for in a GPU if i want a fairly decent one, is there any particular stat which is the best stat to look at or is it a number of factors?

Thanks.
 
Theres a few questions you need to ask yourself...
1. What games do you wanna play and what level of settings are you happy playing at?
2. What resolution is your monitor?
3. Whats your budget?
4. What spec is your system and Wattage of PSU and is there likely to be any older /slower components that will bottleneck your new Graphics card?

1. Most intensive is PS2 then EVE online and maybe Warframe, every other games like Total War Rome and XCOM:EW and ETS2 are not that heavy i would say.

2. 1600 x 900

3/4. Looking at this particular build.
