this is my specs:
Case: Cooler Master Cosmos II Ultra tower
Motherboardt: Gygabyte GA-X79-UP4
Prosessor: Intel core i7-3820(Quad-core)
Graphics card:Asus Geforce GTX 670 PhysX CUDA (4gb)
RAM: 16 GB Crucial DDR3 BallistiX Sport Kit(8GBx2)
OS: WIndows 7 pro (64bit)
PCI network card: Asus PCE-AC66 N1750 (802.11ac)
SSD: 250gb Samsung SSD 840 series
HDD: 1tb WD Desktop Green
Power: Cooler Master GX 450W PSU
CPU Cooling: Intel High Performance Liquid Cooling
Dvd: Asus DVD writer, DRW-24B5ST

Does my computer support 4k or should i buy another graphics card and do SLI?

I doubt the texture fill and bandwidth of 2x GTX 670 in SLI would be enough:

(reference card specs, aftermarket specs would be higher)

670 pixel fillrate - 19.8 GP/s
670 bandwidth - 134 GB/s

780ti pixel fillrate - 42 GP/s
780ti bandwidth - 336 GB/s

As you can see a 780ti's fillrate/bandwidth can easily render over twice as much compared to a GTX 670. I consider these metrics really important when moving up to 4K.

So 2x GTX 670 ~= 1x 780ti

I can tell you from experience that a single 780ti is barely borderline acceptable for 4K by my standards.

2 780s in sli? LOL he can get another 4gb 670 and do SLI with that and be able to handle 4k resolutions.

Yes it supports 4K. But no you won't get playable frame rates in many modern games, for gaming at 4K you'll need at least a 2nd and maybe even a third Geforce 670. Which in turn will need a much more powerful PSU.
