Where do I need an upgrade? - Just bought new 4k Monitor

Hi all, I just bought the new Philip 40" 4K screen and it got me thinking about other upgrades. Wondering if you think I need an upgrade? I'm thinking GFX is my weak spot.....

Intel i7 2600k
Gigabyte Z77X-D3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
Samsung Green 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz
VTX3D HD 7850 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card x2 (Crossfire)
OCZ Vertex 2E Bigfoot 480GB 3.5" SATA-II Solid State Hard Drive
2 x 2TB Drives for other media
EVGA SuperNova G2 750W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply

Can you let me know your opinions?

Edit: Looking at the Zotac Amp Extreme 980ti.....seems to be flavour of the month

Definitely, the GPU needs upgrading for 4k.

Well I just noticed its crossfire so thats not too bad but I don't think they'll cut it gaming at 4k.

current GPU power wont rung 4k, will be vram limited.

if you want good above 60fps ur looking at 2 new cards and also then a newer psu.

probably looking at spending £600 to make the mark

I just ordered the Zotac Amp Extreme 980ti.

Will my PSU be OK?

I think your PSU is fine, you will need two of those 980ti for 4k depending on what you are playing.
