I also forgot to mention im trying to run a total of 4 displays (3 x 27" on bottom and one ultra-wide on top) i already own 2 27" displays and ill be buying the 4k display once i get back from deployment which would be in the bottom middle. im sure this may require some extra power.
and im just getting responses now my internet in the middle of the ocean is agonizingly slow.
azzazel_99 - wow i really didn't expect that answer i was under the impression hardware was ahead of the game but maybe i was reading about gddr6. speaking of that do you think i should just wait for that? im not going to be able to build this machine till probably late Jan time frame and if i remember correctly that's coming out in the not so distant future is it not?.
If those extra monitors will be used for desktop activities, then it won't take any appreciable extra power. Your game is still 3840x2160 pixels, that's all your hardware is concerned about. If instead you intend to play games across multiple monitors, you're definitely going to be waiting a few years. No hardware exists, or likely will exist anytime soon, to allow gaming on multiple 4K displays with playable performance. 3x 1440p is already rough enough.
While I answered the original question from the perspective that the R9 295X2 (or dual 295X2's) are the best value you can get right now for 4K gaming, and that it/they will deliver good performance most of the time, you will undoubtedly have more options available in January. I don't disagree that waiting is a good idea when so much money is at play.
We're expecting the GTX 900's in the new month or two. AMD may have something new by the time you buy as well.
