I was just wondering something, could any of you great people out there try and build a PC that can achieve 4k with good fps with a budget of £1400 ($2207), there are no rules, I just want to see what people come up with, No need for a mouse or keyboard, just the monitor and the PC itself, Good luck!

6700K, 16GB ram, dual titan x.

 

/thread.

 

if theres no rules to achieving a goal, there is no challenge to achieving said goal.

 

EDIT: since op changed his post, i change mine: 

4K at a budget of $2K is like asking to calculate pi with a potato.

Haha you forgot the pixie dust, or if the radio shack is out of that, best buy usually has some WTF powder with the geek squad!

No rules? Well you didn't state what games, so I'll just assume Sims 3, CSGO, and Minecraft, in which case my shitbox can handle it:

Gotta love non demanding games :P

Lets just consider it as $500, its hard to price outdated tech(the only thing new is the r7 265, but that was only $140 at the time).

£1400 for PC and monitor for 4k AAA gaming doesn't sound too doable. You're looking at an i5 + GTX 980 SLI.

Lol, it is pretty cool isn't it?(lol) I love it and I've had it for a very long time(since the AM2 days? If not AM2+), but sadly the manufacture(ZEROTherm) seems to be out of business :(, so second hand or new-old stock is the only way of getting one.

So... I doubt this won't run 60Fps 4k at decent settings. SSD, good CPU, good cooler, everything fits into place with this build.

moreover, at what settings?

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

i'd like to add that my acer TC-603 (i7-4770 & gt640) runs OpenTTD at 2x2560x1440 at a perfect 60 fps.

(almost as many pixels as 4K)

 

so theoretically that thing fits into this thread perfectly, at a whopping cost of €700.

Then @DarkBlade2117's build is perfect, as long as you don't HAVE to max out everything in all games it will do great.

It's easy if you go used. That's what I did. 

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.
