This would be as close as it gets to running 4K within the budget though I recommend you get two R9 Fury X's to do that. 4K is extremely demanding and no single GPU is able to play games at highest settings @60FPS. Fury X is the closest to doing that as for today, as it beats the 980Ti in that resolution.

For non gaming needs, 4K is pretty easy to get. But the second you load up even last gen titles you will get about 1/5th the FPS than you would with a 1080p build. Really the only way to get stable 60FPS+ on 4k is with 2 980 ti's in SLI or a couple 390's in crossfire, which is basically half your budget right there. Plus a decent 4K monitor is around 750-1000$, add up the other components and its really really hard to get anything under 2500$, including a monitor. 

 

heres what I came up with that is over your budget but really one of the cheapest 4k setups I can figure out

 

 
Motherboard: Asus Z170-A ATX LGA1151 Motherboard  ($153.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB Video Card (2-Way SLI)  ($649.99 @ Amazon) 
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB Video Card (2-Way SLI)  ($649.99 @ Amazon) 
Case: Corsair 760T Black ATX Full Tower Case  ($159.99 @ Amazon) 
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM (64-bit)  ($89.88 @ OutletPC) 
Monitor: Samsung U28D590D 60Hz 28.0" Monitor  ($499.99 @ Best Buy) 
Total: $2923.76

PS: This is probably the cheapest you can get to Wither 3 Ultra 4K 60FPS

No. It's HBM not GDDR5. It's enough for 4K. It's better than 980Ti in 4K and the 980Ti has 6GB.

HBM is does not really impact things beyond speed. The simple fact is that the current generation of HBM is limited to 4GB. AMD had to provide a good amount of optimization to make 4GB barely acceptable. http://www.anandtech.com/show/9390/the-amd-radeon-r9-fury-x-review/7

 

Any 4K benchmarks I have seen show the 980 Ti performing as well or better than the Fury X.

No, the Fury X wins in majority of 4K benchmarks. Look at this VRAM test of 980Ti, Titan X and Fury X:

Not sure where you are getting your data. Very few of the 4K gaming benchmarks in the following reviews show the Fury X performing better than the 980 Ti.

 

http://www.anandtech.com/show/9390/the-amd-radeon-r9-fury-x-review/27

http://techreport.com/review/28513/amd-radeon-r9-fury-x-graphics-card-reviewed/14

http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/amd_radeon_r9_fury_x_review,38.html

http://www.hardocp.com/article/2015/07/26/amd_radeon_r9_fury_x_4k_video_card_review/8#.VnRkuMtIiUk

 

I think hardocp summed it up best "Let's be honest, the AMD Radeon R9 Fury X is getting its butt kicked at 4K. We don't think these are the results AMD wanted, especially marketing this video card as a video card developed for 4K gaming. However, these are the real-world results we have found between the AMD Radeon R9 Fury X, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti and NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X."
