The capacity of your microSD card really depends on how many games you want to install to your GPi. You will also need the small sleeve (most microSD cards come with them) to install the microSD card into an SD card reader on your PC/Laptop (make sure you have one). There are a number of brands of microSD cards and capacities to choose from and I certainly can’t list them all here. microSD Card – The microSD card is used to store the operating system, games, hi-scores, etc.(I bought mine from this link, just because I could get it within 2 days).
