For 4K, you're going to need a 3080 or a 6900XT. You could get by with maybe a 3070 or 6800XT, but 4K is pushing it a little on those.

As for monitor, 4K gaming monitors are a very nascent category, and I'm not familiar enough with the options to recommend one in particular. However, they're all like $1500 or more, and feature packed, so probably any of them are great.

There's more pedestrian 4K 60Hz monitors that are more designed for productivity (photo/video editing). Those are more reasonably priced and decent in their own right, but they're not designed for gaming.

OK do you think a rtx 3080, 3080ti, or 3090 would be enough to stream, video editing and gaming? Because I can afford to make a second PC to off set the work load so this PC is for everything.
