if you're spending 4k on a computer, you are overspending. The only way you're looking at 4k is if you plan on running dual titans, which in today's world is plain overkill.

Lawl.. seriously. To build a totally amazing gaming PC all you need is about 1300 for a mid range beast, and 2k for a super beast. 4k and your graphics card should produce graphics so real you could eat a picture of pancakes.
Just to play the "who would pay 4K legitimately" on a computer:
Alienware Aurora
$4,149.00
That's picking the maximum settings for CPU, RAM and Video card which works out to
i7-4960X Extreme (Sandy Bridge-E Socket 2011)
32GB ram
2 x NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 780 graphics with 6GB total (2x 3GB) GDDR5 - NVIDIA SLI® Enabled
Keep in mind that last option alone is a 1200$ upgrade from the GeForce® GTX 760 with 1.5GB GDDR5
If you were to build a system with 4 GTX Titans (6GB each), that's 1,100 per GPU. That is the absolute maximum possible configuration without switching to DP Xeons and... well that's not even a gaming computer at that point. Even building SLI/Crossfire systems are considered somewhat of a joke right now because the power usage and processing power is nearly double of the next card (eg 2x Radeon 7770(99$/ea) = 7780(199$), 2x 7870=7970 (399$))
btw AMD has some 30% off promotions right now, look at ncix, newegg, etc
The game, at it's present state will make 100% use of the GPU up till you have a video card around a 3000 passmark score ( http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html ) Then past that point you need a monitor with more than 1920x1200 resolution.
