Not planning to jump to 4k real soon might look at 1440.  Very happy with my 19X12 32 IPS Panel.  I am wanting to upgrade my video card I have a AMD Radeon 295X2.  Tired of not seeing the value of the Crossfire system and the lack of support.  Thinking about getting a 1080ti or would a 2080 be to much if I wait til they drop??  Here are my current specs and thanks for the advice.

 

Intel Core I7 4930K OC 4.0Ghz

16 GB DDR3-1866 yeah I will probably update the ram to a faster ddr3 2800

Windows 10

AMD Radeon 295X2

512 GB Samsung EVO ssd

4 TB WD 7200 RPM Hard Drive

Asus Rampage 4 Black Edition MB
