4K Gaming PC Build And Monitor

[Porto182002]

Hello. This coming thanksgiving of 2015 I'm going to be ordering the parts to a new gaming computer. It's all fine and dandy until I realized, I don't know which parts I should choose. Can someone please help me because I don't just need the computer I need a good monitor also. I want it to be 144hz and 1ms response time(I will play csgo not just hepatic demanding games) but the computer itself should be able to run gta 5 and fallout 4 and battlefield at 60FPS+. I have a budget of $4,000 usd and hope I can get something decent out of it

I'm pretty sure there's no 4K 144hz (or even 120hz) monitor out there atm. I think your either going to have to go 1440P @144hz or 4K @60hz.

This is what I would go with, its plenty of power to keep those frame rates up at 144hz @1440P giving you great graphics but also super smooth gameplay. I also decided to go with AIO's to keep temps down and will be much quieter (especially SLI).

Is be more than willing to go down to 1440p if when they do release a 144hz 4K monitor I can upgrade to it without changing my PC itself

 

[Geekwad]

Can you please share any components that are possible parts of this new system that you already have on hand (that can be re-purposed)? Also, I am unaware of any 144hz 4k monitors.....did you have a particular monitor in mind?

 

[Porto182002]

I have no parts I can reuse as this is my first gaming PC build. My old PC was donated

You want a monitor capable of handling up to 144 fps and you're happy with at least 60 fps? I've got some bad news for you. At true 4k which is 4096 x 2160 pixels no video card currently available will run any modern PC game at 60 fps. I'd advise no higher than 2560 x 1440 if you want actually take advantage of a 144Hz display.

Speaking of the display the only type that meets your exact specifications is a TN panel. Though I'm sure by the time I post this someone will have posted a build doing all the thinking and work for you. You'll feel much more confident, comfortable, and above all educated about the system you're going to assemble when you're the one that picks that parts through proper research.

I had something like this in mind after research but I was just wondering what you guys would do

Its a good build but I would definently pass on the triple SLI (or quad), I hear it doesn't scale well for gaming and the heat generated "might" require a custom loop. Also if you drop it down to 2 GPU's then you can lower the PSU down to 850W.

 

[Porto182002]

So should I use two Titan X instead?

You could but price/performance the GTX 980 ti is a much better choice.

 

[Porto182002]

I don't care about price/performance. I care strictly about performance.

Dell S2716DG is a very good g-sync 1440p 144Hz monitor so you will enjoy high quality gaming for sure.
And yes this is good enough for 4k gaming w/ good fps.
But maybe when you buy your high-end high-fps 4k gaming monitor you feel you need even more performance.
if this happen know that i7-5930K, ASRock X99 Extreme4, Fractal Design Arc XL and EVGA SuperNOVA 1300 G2 all can handle still another GTX Titan X.

If your indeed going with dual gpu, then I would highly recommend you to go for Fury X, it scales extremely well and will outperform even titan x by a good margin.
