Build-
Case-CyberPowerPC AURON Premium Gaming Case Mid-Tower w/ Tempered Glass Window Panel (Black Color)

CPU: Intel® Core™ Processor i7-8700K 3.70GHZ 12MB Intel Smart Cache LGA1151 (Coffee Lake)

CPU / Processor Cooling Fan: DEEPCOOL CAPTAIN 240EX 240mm Radiator CPU Liquid Cooler w/ Copper Cold Plate (2 x Standard 120MM Fans)

Motherboard: MSI Z370 - A PRO ATX w/ RGB, USB 3.1, 2 PCIe x16, 4 PCIe x1, 6 SATA3, 1 M.2 SATA/PCIe [Intel Optane Ready]

RAM: 32GB (8GBx4) DDR4/3000MHz Dual Channel Memory (ADATA XPG Z1)

Video Card: EVGA GeForce® GTX 1080 Ti SC GAMING iCX Black Edition 11GB GDDR5X (Pascal)[VR Ready] (Single Card)

Power Supply: 800 Watts - Standard 80 Plus Certified Power Supply - SLI/CrossFireX Ready

M.2 SSD: 1TB WD Blue Series M.2 SATA-III 6.0Gb/s SSD - Seq R/W: Up to 545/525 MB/s, Rnd R/W up to 100/80k (Single Drive)

Hard Drive: 2TB (2TBx1) SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 64MB Cache 7200RPM HDD (Single Drive)

I've seen some different arguments that say it can't. And others say it can, decided to come here since I always get the best answer.
I'm not expecting the rig to run every game on Ultra settings @60fps, but like most modern games on like high and stuff. Its a gift and if the rig can run 4k very well I was gonna setup a 4k monitor with it.

It can, probably around high-ish settings to limit any dips.

Yes you can. Some you might need to tweak the in-game settings to reach 4K 60FPS consistantly.

32GB of RAM is extreme overkill for about the next 3 years unless you are doing a lot of productivity tasks such as video editing. Even then that's a bit much. What brought you to that decision?

Cooling is going to very important with GPU Boost 3.0 in play. Depending upon the load my 4690K auto-boosts up to 3.9. That's pretty simple. GPU Boost 3.0 boosts the core clock BUT that's dependent upon the voltage and temps.. The same way an overclocker(novice) would stop their OC once they saw their voltage and temps. approaching unsafe levels so too does GPU boost 3.0 "OC" responsibly. Its safe temp. however is right around 56C iirc. Once it gets past its safe zone, like the overclocker would do after an unsuccessful OC, it will dial back the boost until temps. got back into safe levels. To the uninitiated it may appear to be some kind of thermal throttling but it isn't.

There are NO Single cards out that can run ULTRA 60+FPS in every game out, it's just not going to happen and anyone that tells you otherwise has never built and tried 4K.

Thanks for the fast reply!

 

[13thmonkey]

you'll be able to play 4k at some combination of settings, what those combinations are vary by game, whether they are acceptable is a different question.

Add maybe 10% to that performance for driver optimisations, and that's what you'll get, note that most are using ultra settings, so there's loads of room to squeeze out more performance.

Ah so if I could manage to get 2 of the 1080 Ti I would be fine

Yea I know 32GB of RAM is overkill, however since its a gift for my Dad I felt it was needed. He isn't super tech savy in the hardware department of Pc's, So I figured get the 32GB and it would have him set.

Oh, WOW!!!! Let's take a look at the list again.

Skip that PSU PLEASE!!!!!. You should find a MUCH better PSU than that. Their standard PSUs are pretty much j u n k.

Corsair RM650X

Seasonic Focus 650W

EVGA G3(or G2) 650W

Not exactly, if there's no SLI driver for the game your playing then the performance could be the same as a single GPU or possibly worse. Plus that PSU may not exactly be very good.
