I am not convinced that the TR will give you any real benefit over 2700X.

But either one would be good.

I would suggest that a 27" monitor will be too small.
Given that you want to work in 4K you should probably look for a 30".

I find that the 27" makes things just a little too small.
 
I would suggest this :
