You don't need the Titan Black. 3-4 780ti's would work just as well. There is pretty much zero difference between the Titan Black and the 780ti (they are based on the same chip) in gaming. Sure there are applications that need the extra double precision performance of the Titan, but games don't. I wouldn't try to run 4k on anything less than 3 780ti's though (or 3 R9-290x's). 4 would be preferable if you are running high end games.
Reviving this thread.
This topic came up in another post on MMOC and a poster by the name of Annoying posted this saying it'd run anything at a stable 60fps on maxxed settings at 4k resolution. Goes on to say it's crazy to think it'd cost any more than this to get a PC up to running 4k resolution at maxed setting for the near future.

This guy correct? Crazy? or just over estimating what the machine he put together is capable of?

IMO, wait for the 880-series, they are supposed to be out in mid-september.

I've seen preliminary specs of the GTX 880. Assuming the specs are accurate, it is a rather noticeable performance drop from the 780ti. However, it looks like it will also use less power. It's going to be like the 750ti...where the focus is on efficiency and power consumption rather than outright performance. We aren't going to get any noticeable performance bumps from the 780ti until they do the 20nm shrink (which it looks like AMD and Nvidia are both having trouble with).
They are also supposed to be able to handle memory usage a hell of alot better, which is a common issue with 4k gaming and that could help things run smoother, even if it doesn't have as much grunt elsewhere compared to current GPUs. We can only speculate though and will have to wait for some 4k benchmarks to see how it will turn out. Either way, the market is still in it's infancy and it will be some time before we see reasonably-priced 4k setups that can run smoothly.
