Hi, my current rig is as follows

i7 3770k
16gb 2133mhz ram
7870

Is this enough to run games such as world of warcraft, Eve online and civilization 5 on the following monitor

or would i be better suited grabbing the following 4k monitor and graphics card

Check for some benchmarks for 2560x1600? That's closer to the LG's res than 4k, should give you an idea to where you're looking (Take off 15-20% from the figures, to allow for extra pixels :p)

well it can get 50fps avg at 1440p in bf4 at ultra, so i reckon i give the card an overclock and it should be enough for wow/eve and such
