at that price range, I'll suggest an I7-6700K, a Z-170 board and decent cooler, 16 GB RAM, a 240 to 512 GB SSD, 1 or 2 TB mechanical drive, and a GTX 970

Considering you're at 4k I'd maybe go for a Xeon instead of an i7. Performance isn't too far off and it can't be overclocked but saves you money which you can put towards a better graphics card.

These are US links so you might not find exactly the same parts but I'd look at something along the lines of this:

It is an older socket than the i7-6700k and the CPU and RAM will be slightly slower but you would actually be able to game at 4k, the GTX 970 or similar might struggle at that resolution. If you can't afford the GTX 980 Ti, the R9 390x should do a reasonable job at 4k too.

 

[AXEL_1]

will the r9 390 over heat?
which is better and higher future proof r9 390 or gtx 970?

 

[jmsellars1]

At 4k they should give similar performance I think., the 390 should be cheaper though.

 

[LookItsRain]

390 gives better performance at 1440p and 4k BUT, neither of them can do high settings at 4k, they are simply not strong enough. You would need 2 of them.
jmsellars build is better for gaming, while my build is much better for the other task you mentioned.
