4k Gaming Possible?

[Kryptonic]

1. Budget & Location
My budget is $4,000 NZD, I live in New Zealand 

 

3. My Build So Far

i7-4790k (Hopefully over-clocking to 5.2GHz when I get Water-Clocking)  

Cooler Master Hyper Evo 212 (Upgrading to water cooler when I get the extra money)

Asus Maximus VII Hero

Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB 1866 MHz

Gigabyte GTX 780 Ti GHZ Edition

Western Digital Black 1TB

NZXT Phantom 820

Razer Blackwidow Ultimate Stealth 2014

Razer Mamba Wireless

AOC 28" 4k UHD Monitor

Cooler Master V750

Corsair Vengeance 2100

 

3. Aim

I would like to play Minecraft, Watch Dogs, Far Cry 4, The Division, Crysis 3, Warframe at Ultra etc

4. Monitors
I'm planning on maybe triple if I feel like it, at 3840x2160, But the thing is can I run at 40-60 fps or stick with Full 1080p

5. Peripherals
Do you also need to purchase peripherals such as keyboards and mice as well as monitors etc. Also please tell us if you'll need an OS such as Windows.

6. Why are you upgrading?

I'm Using a 3 year old laptop and it runs Minecraft at 20fps. So other games are impossible.

You won't get 60fps on ultra @ 4k with one 780 Ti. You're going to need 2, if not more.

[Guest]

You cannot run this with a single 780ti im not even sure if you can fun this with two 780 tis.

[EmeraldKiwi]

I wouldn't get a wireless mouse because when you are gaming and the battery dies then you end up dying in whatever game your playing.

Please tell me I read this wrong. You aren't talking about tipple 4k displays on a single gpu are you?

I know I watched it, but I sli 780 ti is better in my opinion

Go double or triple if you can afford it.

[Guest]

Mamba has a great batter life and is an awesome choice.

[Clyne]

I know I watched it, but I sli 780 ti is better in my opinion 

You would need two or more 780 ti in a sli configuration to run 4k at a steady 60 fps.

I'm gonna change it eventually...

It's werid cause this guy is running on i7-4770k and a gtx 780 ti, and I'm planning to overclock my 780 ti

[Kryptonic]

I'm gonna change it eventually...

But I like it

[Clyne]

It's werid cause this guy is running on i7-4770k and a gtx 780 ti, and I'm planning to overclock my 780 ti

He gets around 30 to 40 fps at 4k, not 60 fps at 4k

[EmeraldKiwi]

But I like it

Yeah well everyone thinks I'm @SAV1OUR. They all claim I'm an impostor etc. I don't like that kind of flak.

[Kryptonic]

He gets around 30 to 40 fps at 4k, not 60 fps at 4k

All-right then, So 1920x1080p triple on a single 780 ti, 60fps possible??

[Guest]

I'm gonna change it eventually...

Better

May be worth the time to talk to PB Tech and see if you can get a discount. If you're in Hamilton, talk to Steven Niu, he's really good at discounts.

Al right then, So 1920x1080p triple on a single 780 ti, 60fps possible??

More that actually borderline overkill

[DevanArianne]

It's werid cause this guy is running on i7-4770k and a gtx 780 ti, and I'm planning to overclock my 780 ti

If you're okay iwth 30-40 FPS Max, this isnt even the most intense part of Crysis 3, then yeah that's fine. But if you're going to spend the money on a system like this, go big or dont do it imho.

For butter smooth 60 fps, you're going to need at least 2 TI's

[Clyne]

Al right then, So 1920x1080p triple on a single 780 ti, 60fps possible??

you know what just get two r9 290x 4gb if you don't have enough to spend on two 780 ti
