Budget Envelope 1500 to 2000 €
Location: spain
Target performance: 4K hdr 50fps
Screen 27" or 32" 4K HDR capable and without high latency to be included on the budget,... which one would be the most bang for the buck?
i was thinking either 6600K or 6700K

Sooo what else should i buy?
will a 1070 be enough? or do we need to shoot for 1080?
what about the other parts?

Actually, for a good experience, you need to wait for a 1080ti or equivalent from AMD. It's still not time for 4k. 1440p is the way to go.

Sounds about right, to be sure. Maybe less, depending on how good the 1080ti and AMD equivalent turn out to be.

That being said, i will be prefering 1440p for the foreseeable future for anything below and upto 27" 16:9 and 34" 21:9. Anything above that is too much DPI to confortably use Windows wihtout resorting to high DPI settings, which sucks to put it mildly.

yeah im actually used to 27"1080p after 7 years with that... dont want to go back to smaller screen (32 might be ok as well but not bigger screen sizes)

Was thinking on updating to 27"4K and waaay higher "HDR" color and contrast (OLED blacks would be nice) which was why i was requesting tips on the monitor/TV to be included in budget too...

might as well replace the old core2 Q6600 and ati7850 (thing is at the moment the old rig is still serviceable and most the games are still playable at 1080@30fps if you game the quality settings first so only worth it for me if i t was possible to reach the target within the budget envelope tough...

Made this little budget and tentative partpickings on alternate (back in october when i saw the Benq SW320 monitor paperlaunch), but im suspecting that even if the seem impressive from a feature checklist point of view, both the monitor nor the partlist would be up to spec for reaching the target performance...

Tentative partlist:
PSU Corsair RM750X 750W, € 109,90
SSD Crucial CT525MX3004,€ 122,90
RAM G.Skill DIMM 16GB DDR4-3000 Kit, € 93,90
CPU Intel® Intel® Core i5-6600K Skylake 3.5 GHz (3.9 GHz Turbo Boost), € 237,90*
CPU FAN be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3, € 79,90*

Like i said, 4k si too much for 27". And with a 1060 you are not in 1440p territory.
