I currently own a TN 1080p panel powered by a GTX 770.
I use alot of Adobe's programs (Ps Pr Ae) but I really feel like I need more screen real-estate. I also game a lot, mostly GTA V.
I have two options.
1. AMH A399U 39.5" and stick with my GTX 770
2. QHD monitor (300-350$) and a R9 390.
Both are within my budget.
[EDIT]
I'm on an ITX board which means I can't run SLI or Crossfire.
I LIVE IN EUROPE, TAXES ARE A BITCH
I would get a 3440x1440p monitor like this one.
And then save up a little and buy a second used GTX 770 for sli.
I just updated the post as I forgot to write that I live in EUROPE
The display you posted wouldn't be an option as shipping and taxes would easily hit the 900-1000$ mark which is over my budget. I'm on an ITX board so Crossfire/SLI is not possible.
Alright then help me out here so I can figure out how to help you.
What is your budget in your native currency, (eruo? pound? etc?)
What is the tax rate actually like? (10%, 20? 80????)
What mobo and cpu are you currently running?
My budget in my local currency is 5.500 Danish Krones / DKK I have another 500Kr if the taxes go overbudget.

After a lot of research I found out that there is NO Customs Charges on Monitors but you still have to pay Import Taxes and VAT which adds up to 30%.
Here is a calculator
Choose this one as it doesn't have Customs Charges.
I am running an i5 4590 on an ASUS Z87I-PRO

Well that sucks.
Hmmmmmmm I guess I would go with a normal 1440p monitor and a 390 then.
That 770 is just gonna break under the pressure of 4K.
If you buy inside of EU no TAX or custom charges will be added. So I suggest you look for stuff inside of EU.

as @BaronOfCheese said, you should search fofr something inside the EU, otherwise just face it, you have to pay the taxes, i know the feeling
But i think that although there is not that much content in 4k and it is still kinda "new" you wouldn't regret getting a 4k one (wichever you like) and a good ips panel
If not, i think you would be better served with a 1440p monitor
I'm going to put this on hold. Thanks to everyone replying.
