if this is in the wrong thread, sorry.

Well I got a few questions! here they go! :D

1. Is buying a 1 week old r9 290 for 230 euro worth it?

2. Will two r9 290s handle 4k?

3. Is the gigabyte r9 290 any good?

4. Recommend a 4k monitor for the UK/Ireland pls.

5. Will fans be enough to handle what I listed above?

6. Is the Intel i5 2500k ok for 4k?

7. How much would a used r6950 go for?

8. What price difference should I pay to get a r9 290x?

As you can see, I wanna make the switch to 4k.

Thanks a lot, dark.

2 r9 290s will handle 4k as good as it gets, its still pretty hard to run and even with 2 290s you won't play at ultra with 60FPS

1.) yes, although more detail is needed to give a judgment.

2.) It depends, but in many games it will get very good fps at 4K (with AA turned off)

3.) It's the best imo

4.) Acer B326HK 4K IPS 

5.) Yes

6.) Yes

7.) About 100$

8.) ?

Here's the link.

For number 8, I am asking how much more it'd be worth for to buy a r9 290x instead of 290.
