The graphics card. While some older games like WoW arent as GPU intensive, overwhelming majority of games cannot be run fluently on 4k yet with a single card. SLI/Xfire needs big power supplies, give a huge amount of extra power cost and heat. Also stuttering and glitching.

I recommend 1440p. 27" or 32" samsung S27d850t or s32d850t. I wont recommend 4k until the single fastest graphics card can run it fluently on max settings. Maybe in a few years time.

ive got the 32" samsung on a 980ti and i couldnt be happier. Price was no object. i wont touch sli
