Here is the situation:
I own a Gigabyte G1 GTX 1080, I am just a wee bit less functional in 4k than I would like, Though Overwatch is a pleasant 60 fps, anyway, I am trying to decide if it would be better to sell my current 1080 and pick up a single Titan X card for $1300+ (after sales tax) Or simply get a second 1080 and run it in SLI. I am also about to upgrade from the i7 5820k to the i7 6850k. That should give me both more speed and the extra PCIe paths I need to run SLI well. So for 4k gaming which set up would be better. I have a Vizio 4k TV that plays 4k at 60fps with a 17 ms response time as well as 1080p with 120 fps .. same response time, and an Acer 27 inch g-sync monitor with 144hz and 1ms response time for shooters. So I plan on playing on all different resolutions, but the main reason I am upgrading is to get 4k as solid as I can. What would you suggest?
Second part... I have a friend just getting into PC gaming. We are trying to build him a PC for around 600 that can beat the PS4 Pro. Basically his GPU will have to be $200 so it is the RX480 or the GTX 1060, which do you suggest for him? It almost seems like an either or situation to me. I might be able to talk him into the 8gb 480 or the 6 gb 1060. But in general what is the best for him.
