Im building a new rig that will consist of the following.

Intel i7-5820k
16 GB DDR4 ram
Nvidia Geforce GTX 980

Right now all I really play is wow and battlefield. which monitor should I get to compliment this system? Are 4k monitors worth it or should I just buy a nice 1080p LCD monitor?

Thank you.
 
A nice 1080P monitor is good, but your system can probably handle 4K.

Quite a system by the way, although maybe go with a i7 4790K and maybe SLI 970s

Most games wont even benefit from 4k right now anyway right? I just cant decide if I want to future proof the monitor and go 4k or just get two nice 1080p monitors.
 
id reccommend going for a 1080p monitor, as for gaming you can always use nvidia's new DSR which will let the gpu render in 4k then scale down to 1080p so it is basically looks exactly the same as 4k but on a 1080p monitor. a true 4k monitor will look a little nicer on the desktop, videos etc but its also quite a bit more costly.

id get something like atleast 2x gtx 970's or 2x r9 290x's if you plan to dsr to 4k. in terms it looks a lot better on 4k than it does on 1080p. but at a cost of course.
