What's your budget? The GTX 970 works really well but not for 4K gaming. For example, Battlefield 4 runs at 4K at an average of 30FPS. I would suggest a 980 as this would work slightly better but it's a lot more expensive so it's hardly justifiable doing so for an extra 5-10FPS. I'm not sure what country you're in but if I go by Aus prices, it may be worth a dual R9 290 for around $850 instead of a dual 970 (~$1000.)

4K gaming is still relatively hard to achieve at 60FPS without spending a lot of money.

I have 3 980s man and even that doesn't satisfy me with some games 🙁.

Your CPU is fine along with all of your other components except I would switch 2 things. #1, I would get 2 970s if you could somehow afford it. It's hard to estimate what 1 970 will get you but to get a decent FPS in battlefield with 1 980 I needed to use medium settings, all aa/eye candy off. So you would probably need to go 1 step lower than that to get 60 fps.

The other thing I would do besides getting a better/more gpus is get a 4k gsync monitor. It makes a big difference in smoothing out gameplay when your FPS is not at a constant 50-60. It is also a godsend for anyone using SLI. I had the monitor you are going to buy and I did like it (the 590D correct?), but there are better ones out now for around the same price.

4K gaming is still a bit ridiculous to achieve, but it is also easy to overdo as well. I'd say that if you fix your gpu pick to 2 970s (all aa off in the games you play) you would be good to go with around 50-60 fps in most games.

This was a fun vid to watch on the topic.

4k is achievable for most mainstream / popular games but depends on the detail levels and how intense the game engine is. Older and less demanding titles will be fine.

I cannot provide links right now but I can at least give you the models of the items I was talking about (I'll update with links later)

Monitor - Acer XB280HK
GPU - Nvidia GTX 970 or GTX 980 (like I said, 1 970 really won't be enough to get the gameplay I think you're looking for).

Hey man , i have lost my mind searching for the differnce between gsync and non-sync monitors. Can you explain it to me ? Can you give me to understand the difference!?

G-Sync changes your refresh rate of your monitor to match your current FPS.

V-Sync changes your game's FPS to your monitor refresh rate if you are getting a higher than FPS than the refresh.

For example, if you are using a G-Sync monitor (which I recommend for 4k unless you get higher FPS than your desired monitor) and you have 40FPS, then your screen refresh rate will be 40hz. Whereas with V-Sync you can have 40FPS but view it on a 60hz monitor and it will look jumpy.

G-Sync is for HTC cards only.

So man you think that i should buy a gsync monitor ? Does it worth the money?

I definitely believe that they are very good monitors with good technology but I myself, cannot justify the price. They are a good investment, though, so if you know you can afford one, the definitely buy one.

It's a tough call. There are pros as well as some cons. For instance, in some games I actually got more than 60 fps so when I switched to g-sync I had to mess around quite a bit at first, because what happens is you end up with a frame buffer and you can get stuttering that way. I had that happen with quite a few games such as bf4. So I ended up having to put a frame-cap on a lot of the stuff I played.

As far as other games and issues go though, it's a life saver. There were some games such as crysis 3 which were just down-right unplayable because of the stuttering i got. With a gsync monitor, it is silky smooth.

I think it is well worth the investment.
