Thank you for sharing your story alexandruww2
Prices are coming down quite fast on the 4K displays, faster than the 1080p display implementation. Make sure that you get the new generation with DisplayPort 1.2a, this will have native support for adaptive-sync. Right now you can get this Acer B286HK for $349.00, here is the link

The R9 270 is a very capable graphics card and of course, the R9 290 will probably the perfect match for your system. Good luck in the contest and thank you for participating. All the best.
A very nice setup indeed. Love the red dragon next to the case as well!

Hi Gerrit03,
Overclocking can damage your components so there is always a risk of damaging your components. It is your decision if it is ok to damage your components.
I suggest you to read a bit about your mainboard and cpu specifications in order to determine how far you can push your system as well as understanding a bit the basics of overlocking. This will help you to achieve your desired results.
If your decision is to go for overclocking, make sure you always do it in small increments, this is safe but longer in the process to get your final results.
Make sure you test your system before any overclock is done. This will provide you a start up point which you can compare later on how far you have gone with your project.
Cheers
Hi Gerrit03,
Your mainboard MSI 760GA-P43(FX) should be able to handle the R9 280 along with your Athlon II X4 640. I suggest to up a bit the RAM to 8GB and make sure you have a good power supply to power the system and the GPU. Here is a good page that explains the CPU / GPU bottlenecks in case you find any, you can still make adjustments to make sure that you are setting your system they way you want it. Here is the link
That is the game I am waiting for and is coming out today!
