Can my PC run a 27 inch, 2560 x 1440 monitor?

Hi All

Firstly, huge apologies if there is a similar post elsewhere. Here are my specs:

CPU - i7 4930 overclocked to 4.4 GHz
GPU - Sapphire HD 7990
RAM - 32gb
PSU - Corsair 1050hx
MOBO - Asus P9X79

In an ideal world I'd like to be able to run new games (Watch Dogs, GTA V, etc) at their highest settings on a 27 inch, 2560 x 1440 monitor. System requirements for GTA V aren't out yet so could we use Watch Dogs as an example.

Is this possible with this set up? If not, what upgrades do you think I'd need?

Many thanks for your help.

Jim.

Pay attention to the frame rates on some games.
 
Looks fine to me. I play 1440p with a single GTX 670 & i do okay achieving 30+ FPS in most games on high settings, so you'll do very well. Mind, i don't use much in the way of AA, as mines an PLS(IPS) panel, it looks crisp naturally.
