Gaming PC 4K capable - £3-3.5K

[frog61]

Hi all
So I am still thinking about a new gaming PC, one that should meet the followings specs:
1: Last a good 3 - 4 Years (Rig wise)
2: Have a good gaming monitor, capable of 4K, now I realise most if not all on the market can achieve 60fps. But, I thought I heard about one coming soon capable of doing 120fps, suspect either not true or costing many ££££s
3: 4K gaming @ 60fps
4: whilst this would be used mostly for gaming, I would also use it for downloading and the odd bit of video storage for various devices around the house.
5: Not fused about pretty light or such, but would like it well ventilated and kept cool / dust free!
6: Ideally £3K would be the max to spend (including VAT), but I could push this to 3.5K, if i promise the wife to the do the washing for a month

any thoughts anyone?

Many thanks Legend,
The cheaper option certainly looks an attractive price.
I suppose I am thinking of games like The Witcher 3 coming out shortly, and wanting to play that in the best possible settings, has pushed me towards the 4k area.

The choics you have kindly presented, do seem to show that the monitor and graphic card are the two ones that could be best upgraded in the future.
With that in mind, would it be worthwhile upgrading the motherboard / cpu / RAM and looking at keeping all others euqal on the cheaper option you have shown?
This might last a good 18months or so before I think about going back to the market and seeing what else is about.

Either that or wait till August/September time and see whats about then. sighs....

thanks for your comments!

Many thanks all for your comments, certainly lots to consider. Strongly leaning towards the 1440 monitor now.
With respect to the ROG swift which seems to be lauded quite well, can anyone suggest how to connect a ps4 to this monitor? Would the 1440 skew the picture at all?

thanks

Games on PS4 vary resolution to achieve frame rates.

The Max the PS4 is 1080P I thought with lower resolutions being more common.

The lower resolutions will look horrid I believe.

Also the rog swift has just a single display port input like all gsync monitors so you are out of luck hooking it to a ps4

Rats....
