Hello,

I urgently need to upgrade my PC for 4K display, but sadly I'm so out of computer related stuff that I don't trust my judgement, therefore I need help from experts. :)

I have:
Motherboard: P6X58-E WS
CPU: Xeon W3680
SSD: 2 x Vertex 3

I need a graphics card able to run 4K monitor (probably ASUS PQ321Q 31.5-Inch 4K). I also plan on connecting 2 smaller displays (I can use old card for that, though, if needed).

Use: I will mostly use it as a workstation, no games, no special graphics requirements, besides work maybe just some amateur SketchUp use.

Budget: hard to say because I have no idea what's needed to run stuff smoothly on a 4K display.

Thanks!
Kind regards,
Damien

If you aren't gaming a normal GPU will be alright, don't go too cheap because you want something with a good amount of VRAM, you could go for a GTX 960, sure it might be a gaming card but it has a sufficient VRAM amount http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=gtx+960 or a 970 if you have the money http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=gtx+970&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Agtx+970. These card will work just fine, if you have another preference just let me know!
