So in the waning ours of our 'Murica celebration, I find myself eager to spend some cash. I recently took a new job that I couldn't be more in love with that not only offers a significant upgrade (read: lifestyle change) in the financial department, but also in the career department. My only regret is not jumping ship from my old job sooner.
Anywho - I find myself at a strange crossroads. I still consider myself a gamer at heart, but lately I haven't finished a single damn game I've purchased - be it AAA titles or indie nickle-and-dimes. I play league of legends impulsively and guild wars 2 occasionally, but nothing really holds my attention. Maybe I'm growing out of it... I didn't buy a single steam summer sale game. Nothing.
That said, the G-sync monitors in the 28" range are calling to me. I'm not sure I want to spend 800 on a monitor, but a 4K monitor with gysnc is probably about as future proof as it gets. The only problem then, is I'd most likely need to upgrade my video card to something that can push the pixels to that beast. That said, my current graphics card is not old at all, and would probably still fetch a reasonable resale price in the bargain basement, leaving me to probably splurge on an upgrade to a 980 unless something with better price:perfromance ratio comes out. Another factor is that my desktop is my sole means of entertain electronically. I have no wants to buy a large screen tv ever.
For the non-gamer professional in me, the larger screen space would be nice for programming (I use VS2013 most of the time) and utilizing other apps I use in my day to day dealings. I've also been dabbling in Unity and I can definitely see a huge screen being used there effectively.
Currently I'm using Win7 pro 64bit, I have 2 non-matching monitors. Will I have issues running 3 displays for-non gaming modes? I was never a fan of the multi-monitor gaming stuff, I think one honking display is plenty when it's ~2' from my eyesballs.
I've also heard tale that with larger display formats, it's often not necessary to turn up the eyecandy as much. I'd love to hear feedback as to any tales of woe, regret, or endorsements for any G-sync monitors at or around the 27/28" range.
So what say you ladies and gents or large displays and the cards to utilize them?
The one I am eyeing up is this one :http://www.amazon.com/PG278Q-27-Inch-Screen-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00MSOND8C/
this one isn't bad, but the refresh rate isn't as good as the ROC above.

Lastly, if I do buy this beast, will my 760gtx be able to run it moderately well enough or will it be brought to it's knees in even the most casual of games?
