Video Card for 4k + 1440P Monitor setup (Not a gamer)

Hi all!

I am currently using the rig in my sig with my ASUS 1440p monitor. I was thinking about getting an additional Dell 27" P2715Q 4K IPS Monitor to run as a dual display setup. I know my 5770 will not handle that resolution...

I am a photographer so editing in Lightroom and Photoshop are what I mainly use my computer for. no gaming.

What video card would you recommend for driving a 4K + 1440p monitor setup?

I would prefer keeping the video card price under $200. I see the GTX 960 is right at $200. Are there any cheaper cards that would still be suitable?

Thanks in advance!

The Radeon R9 280 is both faster and in most cases cheaper, plus it'll support multiple displays better... I'd recommend it, size depending.

EDIT: Just one of many: http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=N82E16814202099

I apologize if the link is broken (I'm mobile right now).. It's on neweggs site.. Sapphire Dual-X R9 280

Thanks for the reply! I also forgot to mention that I am running the OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W PSU. Would that handle the R9 280 ok?
