Hey there guys! So here is my current system:

1 x Intel Core i7-4770K Haswell Quad-Core 3.5 GHz LGA 1150 (OC'ed to 4.0 GHz)
1 x ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO
1 x HyperX Predator Series 16GB
2 x GTX 780 SLI
1 x ASUS PB278Q 27" WQHD 2560x1440 (MAY BUY ANOTHER!)

I'm noticing that i'm not able to run my games at 2560x1440 with everything turned at max anymore and i'm kinda upset by it. Which brings me to my question, do i upgrade to the new i7 6700k skylake CPU and run 2x GTX 980 TI's (or 2x Titan X's) or should i keep my cpu/mobo combo and upgrade the video cards? Also would 2x GTX 980 TI's be able to handle 4k gaming say if i picked up another PB278Q or should i be looking at the Titan X's?
 
Keep your cpu, you are gpu limited at that resolution anyway. Some custom 980 TIs like MSI Lightning are just as fast as Titan X anyway so go for them. Titan X is more for Gpu rendering because of 12 GB of VRAM.
Edit: I hope your 16 GB Ram is two or four sticks so you run it in dual channel mode.
