No reason it shouldn't. The RAM you already have would work well.

I'm new to the building process, and I thought I did well for 600$ well it was about 570$ for my first build, would their be any performance gains from switching over?

The i7-4790K is significantly better than the FX-9590. It's unlikely that you will ever face a CPU bottleneck at 4K, but the i7-4790K will stomp the FX-9590 anywhere else, whether it be single or multithreaded.

Just looked them up it's about 1100$ for the 1080ti new CPU and mobo not bad actually, now I just need to figure out what to do with my old stuff

Any recommendations on a cost effective 4k monitor

LG has some good 4K monitors

Note 10, S10, Samsung becomes Apple, Zen 2, 3700X, Renegade X lol

Thanks I'll check it out, what about using a 4k tv? 

Eh, input lag still plays a large role... which means that a 4K television screen won't give you as much of a fluid experience that a monitor can provide.

I was asking because some 4k rvs have game mode or pc mode that change it to 60hz and disable all the normal tv crap so I was just wondering because HH Greg is going out of business lol

Yes, these PC/Game modes cut input lag but I imagine it still isn't quite as good as a monitor. Take that as you will.

Update I thought about doing this, let me know what you guys think, I have many SSDs and spare storage drives that's why their not on the part list.   It's not far from my 1200$ budget anyway so what do you guys think?
