Wow this was way quicker responses than i expected haha! Thanks guys! Any reference to Future-proofing is purely my in my mind "Buy this and it'll last you a long time" and not advertised Future-proofing. I felt like 4K was always the way to go. I understand how much better and efficient an actual monitor for the 2nd screen would be but with seeing that i already have a 27 tv as the side monitor is purely my reason for asking (aka saving money on a side monitor) as the side monitor doesn't exactly need to look the best in comparison to the main monitor which I would like to do gaming and most of my editing on. Follow ups I guess would be assuming i'll game in 4K Would Gsync really be worthwhile at the cost of like 2-300 dollars? I'm not afraid to drop over 1.5k for a new setup but would like the best possible one I can do with such a budget while also keeping in mind I'm a big fan of dual monitor setup. Lastly what monitor(s) would you guys suggest? 4K IPS a must as I like IPS monitors better while I also sometimes lounge in weird positions to the screen so would be better. I'd prefer swivel, tilt, and the side monitor to be able to go portrait mode as well. preferably on a budget between 1 and 1.5k.

Hey guys! So i recently upgraded my whole computer... wait i mean i recently just built a completely over the top completely new computer. Major tech specs: Geforce GTX 1080ti Intel I7-7700K (OC'd to 5GHz) 16 Gig DDR4 RAM Major uses: I'm a photographer so the more detail i can get in my photo editing in Photoshop would be tremendous but not exactly necessary. A friend of mine does video was, as i have a much nicer computer, wondering if i could edit his 4k videos he shoots from his drone for weddings until he can get his rig setup or just go through me should things work right. lastly I game... like all the time. I'm not a graphic nazi and while i would like to see over 60hz to know what it's like it's not exactly a priority to me assuming that the reviews say the 1080ti can play 4k games comfortably. I understand 4k gaming at 144hz is an obscene thing to ask and not what i'm looking for but would like the best experience I can get for gaming that's also practical for photo/video editing. I've been reading through most of these threads trying to find answers but find that not many people have this high end of a build and i get that. I only recently decided to just futureproof and just spend the money and get a nice new comp to last me a long time. Let me start here by saying I've been using a Dual screen, 27" 1080p TV setup since I built my old PC with a 960. The futureproofing best-or-nothing side of me is thinking of waiting for the new HDR monitors to come out namely the ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQ but the I-want-instant-gratification-for-buying-a-1080ti side of me thinks I should just buy one, maybe two, currently 4k monitor(s) instead of just one really nice HDR one assuming them to come out to 1.5k plus. While i do really enjoy dual monitoring i'm not completely opposed to going back to a single monitor in the case of a over the top one such as the PG27UQ should a 1080 one next to it just look terrible. Lastly: I'm looking for 27" monitors but might be ok with bigger but figure my better TV is 27" and would like to keep sizing the same assuming i don't buy dual monitors. Ok ok sorry if i'm dragging on now, Questions: 1) Would getting a nice 4k monitor and using a similar sized 1080p tv as a side monitor ruin the side monitor and make it just look terrible? (minus the fact of looking at 4k then looking at 1080 lol) or would it still be able to output 1080 cleanly while maintaining 4k on the other. 2) Would buying 2 4K monitors stress the 1080ti too much to a point of reduced performance? namely for say watching twitch on the side while playing a game(I like to do this a lot)? 3) Would getting a 4k monitor and playing 1440 games on it be terrible? I mostly want the 4k for photo/video editing but would love to play 4k games if also an option. IF it were possible to play 1440 on a 4k and get upwards of 100hz that would also be awesome. 4) Would having a 1440 monitor and editing 4k video be terrible? (not a video guy really but starting to look into it haha sorry) I assume it would be real bad. 5) Whats' the best futureproofing I can do per price? Edit: 6) Would Gsync on a 4k monitor be worthwhile? I know that the 1080ti can't exactly run 4k past 50frames really so I assume no but say if i WERE to play 1440 games on the 4k monitor and they were to possible go over 60fps would gsync be worth it then? Thank you for any advice in advance =)
