So I have a 4,7ghz 6700k cpu, two 980ti 6g gpu's,16gigs of corsair vengeance ddr4 ram and a z170a msi gaming pro mobo and I've bought a 55' 4K tv for gaming on it.
How long do you think will this setup play games on high settings in 4K. Will it last at least three years?

I would say your good, if you wanna save money, get 3 290x's. What i will say is make sure you turn down or turn off AA. At 4k those kinds of corrections are far less important, but they also are the hardest part of runing 4k. Running AA on 4k basically samples 4x the number of pixels each time. so i would use minimal or no AA. that will get you better numbers than the benchmarks.

Also, if i may ask, which TV are you getting. And what games will you be playing? (I not only build PC's but I'm the salesman that trains the other salesman for my local Magnolia AV).

The thing is, if you buy a Sony 4k (like the 810c or the 850c) u can use the upscsaling algorithms to do AA for you. basically, you turn on your upscalers (not all the way) and then render at like 1440p (or any 16:9 aspect ratio) thats higher than 1080p but not yet 4k and let the upscaler do the last step of the process. It'll give an AA effect and give you computer a break from the processing.

I have to agree with Robcrezz, you will have to turn down some things on more demanding games. Youre as prepared as anyone can be right now but 4K gaming is not here yet, 2 GTX 980ti's should be enough for a lot of current games at 4k but not at and its not going to be future proof, True 4k gaming is a generation or two away, more and more games will be able to gear towards it.

How is it "overkill" for 4k? Even on current games you will be lucky to get near 60fps at higher details even with 2x 980 ti

Its nice of you to select my reply as the answer, but I think its against the rules for anyone except the OP to select it (don't ask why everyone has the ability to...:pt1cable:).
