4K Build, for £2K?

[MrZen]

Hi All,

Wondering if a build could be spec'd for the above.

I dont need an OS, however I will need a Keyboard & Mouse but dont include this in the overall budget.

A 4K Monitor will also be needed, This will be a PC for the lastest games and some Video Editing!



Any other ideas are welcome if there is a better route to go down for this price.

Thanks.

If a single 980ti can run 4k to an acceptable level (which tbh depends on what sort of framerate you'd find acceptable) it's doable but don't expect to be running everything on "max" all the time! -

I can't help but feel that 4k isn't quite there yet for gaming, especially at your budget. You'll need 2 980ti cards to get good framerates with all the eyecandy and a decent 4k gaming monitor which will take 3/4 of your budget.

Why not get a good 1440p monitor? I have a Rog Swift with a single 980ti and it looks jaw-droppingly good when running the latest games.
