What is your setup?
What is your budget for upgrading for GPU and monitor?
Edit: Nevermind, I see you're going 1070 SLI.
I'd go for a single 4k monitor then, you should be able to run stuff at 60fps just fine.
Don't fall for any of that gaming monitor crap though in the 4k market, they're just overmarketing their monitors and sticking G-Sync/Freesync on it to sell.
You can get a much better 4k display for much less.
