Hey I need a new pc,

 

1. Budget & Location

 

my budget is 5000$ MAX. I live in the netherlands and I'd like a pcpartpicker.com link :) 

 

 

2. Aim 

 

Gaming, video editing and some basic school stuff. 

 

3. Monitors

 

As the title states, I'd like to be able to game on 4k monitor. Only 1.

 

4. Peripherals

 

Mice Keyboard Headset and 4k Monitor needs to be in the build link.

 

 

5. Why are you upgrading?

 

The pc I have now, can't even run Youtube videos in 720p.

 

 

Hope you guys can help me!

 

Thanks.

Sorting a build now. Are you sure you want to go 4k? Even like dual Titan Z cannot run some AAA games at 60fps 4k... Just a word of warning. But If you are determined to go 4k then we can do our best

I'm sure.

 

I guess you can always turn down settings or res down to 1440p if you need to - I'm guessing you want 4K for productivity as well (when you mentioned school work that's what came into my mind).

I'd go for 2 Titan blacks instead, because they have more memory and 4K really benefits from more memory (4gb is not enough)

OP if you're going to be building a high end machine like this with that high of a budget, I'd really recommend getting a custom loop.

4GB is plenty for 4k. 3Gb is the 'cutting it close' range. 780ti's still run fine at 4k even with their little memory. Even then, you could get quad-fire 290xs for the price of two Titan Blacks, and 290xs core for core compete with the titan at 4k, so its just an overpriced waste of money.

That was my justification too, titan blacks are expensive unless the OP needs the computer performance, It would still be an idea but for gaming and video editing triple/quad 290x would be better investment

I already told him that in my first post and recommended 1440p, but he insisted on 4k

its propably the best option for 4k,

im agreeing with you.

Get two monitors, a 4k monitor and an asus 1440p 144 hz monitor. Use 4k for school work and whatnot and 1440p for gaming. Trust me you'll enjoy that a ton more.

Or just get the 1440p 144hz monitor (OR an IPS 60hz one) and have a better life :P

There is also another one above, decided to swap for 780tis for their superior performance, better cooling, lower power requirements and CUDA for editing
 
Personally I prefer IPS , but you COULD get the Asus 144hz 1440p I just dont like the crap viewing angles which matter on large displays
