Need help on 4k gaming build for $1500

[MohammedNaleye]

I will be upgrading my build for this. Will this be able to last for future games and will it be able to play games such as BF4 and Crysis 4 on ULTRA settings&60+ Frames? Should I upgrade to a 780 ti or a 880/ti next year or add another 780 in SLI?
I heard that the 290x is better than the 780.
Is this true?

If U want SLI, do it with 6GB GTX 780's, or wait for 880 series.

Hey, if I were you I would wait a bit before going all out on a 4k gaming rig, at least until next month or so!

Also if you cut back on the i7/mobo you could get a better GPU, which would give you a performance increase if you're just gaming, but if you'd like to stick with the i7 please get the 4790k as it's the latest one

If you really want 4k, you prettymuch need to do sli or crossfire and even that will not render games on full settings on 4k, might i suggest you go with a 2560x1440 screen instead, 4k gaming isnt ready.

Take a look at the following review, it pits two 780Ti cards in SLI against two R290X cards in crossfire and benches them on a 4k 60hz monitor.

Bear in mind one card can not provide adequate frame rates on a 4k screen to be considered playable, unless you massively drop the in-game visual settings. And then there's no point because 1080p with all the eye candy up full will look better than 4k at lowest settings.

You've already made a thread about it and you had some answers.

You need 4 x 6gb cards to run Crysis 3 on ultra settings @4K and then you also have to overclock them a bit.

BF4 is a bit easier as you need 2 x 4gb+ cards and avoid Mantle unless you want to run out of VRAM.

The best option is to wait and see what the next gen of cards bring.
