Well the real problem is driving all these pixels for gaming. You just can't do it, even with a GTX 1080. I read a review last night of that card and in Tomb Raider it could only do ~52fps average. So even with a top card like that you will have to turn the settings down in some games.
I have decided to just run my demanding games in 1080p. They still look great. Plus I can probably get by with my 280x for another year if I have to. We are going to need Vega and Big Pascal for proper 4k gaming. You could probably get by with a GTX 980 Ti or a GTX 1070 but you will be turning settings down in a lot of games. If I'm going to spend that much on a GPU I want an optimal experience.
If the right deal comes along I will bite. Otherwise I'm fine with what I have.
