I'm mostly used to playing games like L4D2, fast-paced first-person shooters at 30fps or lower. I'll be upgrading my rig to a 2-way GTX 780 Ti set-up, the GPUs will be overclocked and water-cooled.
I'll be playing Crysis 3 at 4K with maximum detail settings turned on, including 4x MSAA, and that would lower my framerates to around 30-35 fps. Is that OK?

It's all personal preference. And how are you getting bellow 30 on L4D, with 2 overclocked 780 Ti's? You should be smashing it, even at 4K

Yeah, I'll be using a 360mm + 240mm rad liquid cooling system. Again, this brings me back to the original question. Is 30fps a massive difference, from say 45fps scaling to 3x GTX 780 Tis? FYI I'll be using a 60Hz 4K monitor, if that helps, I think you shouldn't be able to see much difference between higher framerates on 60Hz, but is it possible to see difference between lower framerates? Like, there's not much difference between 70fps,90 fps and 100fps on 60Hz is there?

At lower fps any variation is quite noticeable. You might need to look at a 3rd 780Ti for 4K.
I think 4K is a bit too expensive at the moment. And it's certainly only any good on a large monitor (30 inch plus). Otherwise, I'd stick to 1080p where just one 780Ti would be more than enough.
Can you put up your complete parts list? With costs. It'll be interesting to see how much in total you plan to spend. Have you bought any of it yet?

Also, the performance increase from an i7-4770K to an i7-4930K is really not worth it for the price.

There is literally no difference from 70 fps to 900 fps on a 60hz monitor, because a 60hz monitor is only capable of displaying up to 60 fps.
On a 60hz monitor, the difference from 30 to 45 fps is exactly the same as it is on a 120hz monitor, or 144hz monitor.
The refresh rate does absolutely nothing to the framerate, other than limit it.

I'm not buying a crappy TN panel, I'm buying a high-quality UltraSharp 99% sRGB IPS panel at 4K for only $1299 FYIFor someone with such a crappy system currently, you have some strong opinions.
Quality TN panels are great for gaming. They don't make the best desktop/professional monitors, but for what they are made for, they are good (low response times to remove motion blur and lightboost/strobing/G-sync options to further reduce motion blur).
Now, I have a question about that UltraSharp. Does it have a displayport connection? Dell has been selling their more affordable 4k monitors with a refresh rate of 30hz. Make sure that is at least a 60hz monitor.
It's a choice, but from those who have both quality Dell IPS screens and quality TN screens, many of not most prefer to game on their quality TN panels. 4k may change that opinion a bit, as high refresh rate is not an option at that resolution.

That's not quite true on either account.
On a 60hz monitor, when your FPS go well beyond the refresh rate, you get more up to day partial images, which also result in tearing. The last part of the screen to be updated is newer than what you'd have with lower FPS, and when the next refresh starts, the top part of the screen is that more recent image as well. Of course tearing can be annoying to see as well, but there is a difference.
And having a higher refresh rate, with low FPS, helps in 2 ways:
1) With V-sync, you have more frame time options, meaning that V-sync will not have to make you wait as long to show the image when it is force to wait for a new refresh before it shows it.
2) Without V-sync, the refreshes remove tears sooner than at a lower refresh rate. The tear is there when a new frame is updated, but not on refreshes that happen between frame updates.

You're really overkilling it on a lot of stuff such as the CPU which has been stated many times (which saves you at least $200). I would just wait for the 800 series with 20 nm architecture to come out which should help performance tremendously. As for 4K displays, you're truly throwing your money in a ditch. The technology is too new to invest so much money in it. Also I'm sure a $500 difference won't kill you since you'll be spending $6500 regardless.

$6500 to play Crysis at 30fps.
1) what info do you have to show it'll be that slow?
2) I think 60fps on a 1140 monitor or 3 x 1050 monitors would be better than 30fps at 4k.
Crysis is not demanding on the CPU, so it's a bit of an overkill.
How about you try playing a game at 30fps and see if it suits you, either by setting V-sync to every other fame (ie 30fps) or increase settings until a game hits 30fps. That would make more sense than asking other people to guess whether you'd would be bothered by 30fps.

Many games will exceed 3 gb of Ram @ 4K, especially if you use anti aliasing.

I've never played Crysis 3 on a 4k monitor however if you decide to buy a 4k panel make sure you get the high end Asus panel and get it calibrated. "Stay away from the lower priced TN panels"
I personally don't like the way Crysis 3 plays @ 30 fps that's why I don't enable MSAA, with smaa the game play is more fluid and on ultra settings with a calibrated pls monitor the game looks phenomenal.
If you decide to get a high end 4k monitor I suggest you get a couple Titan Z's when they come out or get 3 Titan blacks if you need the system right away.

MSAA is mostly frosting over 1080p anyway. At 1440p pixel walk is mostly wiped out, so SMAA ends up looking great as well. Also, a lot of people apply the 4xMSAA standard when they really shouldn't. 2xMSAA at 1440p has just slightly less of a performance hit and quality than 4xMSAA at 1080p (but much clearer and with fewer jaggies anyway due to there being more real pixels of course). 4xMSAA and above at 1440p is an exponential framerate drop for exponentially diminishing returns. I've only run at 1440p a couple times since the monitor I use most of the time is 1080p and my card can't handle 1440p in many games, but I would never use more than 2xMSAA or SMAA at 1440p. Otherwise there's just too much of an FPS drop and VRAM hit for too little gain, imo.
It's also worth noting that poorly calibrated monitors with their sharpness turned too high will exaggerate jaggies and make shader AA less effective.

I just noticed that in a previous post you wanted the 24 inch Dell, I think that is too small for 4k, check out the link below
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
You might as well go for a 1440p if you're considering the Dell UP2414Q in my opinion, Can you imagine how small the text would be when surfing the internet? You would have to make lots of adjustments.

I agree.
Then again, 27" 1440p would be overall better than 24" 4K in my opinion. Obviously 4K would be clearer and such, but it would throw off so much optimization and would create so many scaling oddities it wouldn't be worth it to me.
Not to mention, 1440p is quite a mature technology now and there are some really good screens starting to release at 1440p. 4K screens still tend to have tradeoffs. If it's not an exorbitantly high price, it's a low refresh rate or cheap panel. Not necessarily TN, but usually not more than 6-bit.

I agree, 1440p is more mature, it would be nice if a 1440p G-Sync PLS/IPS monitor was released.
A 4k G-sync monitor would be a good idea as well because if I'm spending 10k plus on a computer and screen, perfection is the only option. lol
I think 4k isn't worth the substantial premium over 1440p however if money wasn't a factor I would get the ASUS PQ321Q with 2 Titan z graphic cards.

I agree, 1440p is more mature, it would be nice if a 1440p G-Sync PLS/IPS monitor was released.A 4k G-sync monitor would be a good idea as well because if I'm spending 10k plus on a computer and screen, perfection is the only option. lol
I think 4k isn't worth the substantial premium over 1440p however if money wasn't a factor I would get the ASUS PQ321Q with 2 Titan z graphic cards.

Well, from what I've heard, the 24 inch 4k monitor is the maximum budget I have for monitors. Guess I'll have to go with an 1440p monitor then
Guess that isn't a bad thing, but there would be lots of difference in image quality, but I guess for $10,000 less (2 Titan Z at $3000 + $3500 monitor,) you can't expect superb image quality.

Technically you could buy a WQUXGA screen and go much higher than 4K, but video cards today just aren't meant to run that, so it would hurt your experience rather than help it. Likewise, 4K isn't efficient today either. You "could" go 4K and settle for merely high settings 30 fps in next gen games, or you could go 1440p and use those 2 780 TIs to run everything next gen on ultra at 60 fps. In most circumstances, 1440p will actually look better and cost less, because that's the level technology is at right now.
It's the same reason the PS4 isn't running everything at 1440p. Technically, the PS4 could run every game at 1440p if they decreased textures, meshes, physics, LoD, and lighting. However, developers find that games actually can look and run better if you use the efficient resolution meant for the video card. The PS4's most efficient resolution happens to be either 900p or 1080p.
A 780 TI, even 2x 780 TIs, are meant for efficient operation at 1440p, not 4K. Trying to push a PC higher right now will cost a lot more and arguably look worse since to make up for the massive performance drop of the higher resolution you'll need to cut graphics settings sooner.

Are you getting this one PA279Q?
The two 780 ti's will have enough VRAM for most games however if you are planing on playing BF4 and want to increase the scaling you will run out of Vram.
One 780 ti will be good enough for 1440p however if you want two 6 gb of memory would be ideal.
I suggest you get 2 Titan blacks or wait for a 6 gb variant of the 780 ti however I'm not sure if one will ever come out.

Thing I was wondering is, most people play games to be immersed in it, and often times, won't bother to nitpick framerate or jagged edges or abit of blur during battles.Looking at your frame rate all day is a way to destroy immersion, but don't kid yourself, low FPS destroys immersion too. At 60 FPS, everything runs smooth, and you get flowing motion, when you are at 30 FPS, things fell choppy and destroys immersion, and in my case, makes me sick.
Even 60 FPS does not feel as good as 80-144 FPS. Getting to 80 FPS makes games feel more fluid and immerses me more than a high resolution can. Seeing trails on graphics as a result of motion blur also ruins immersion.
