Here are the specs. Not building a PC until at least next year so the parts will definitely change. Priced it out now cuz I thought I could do it this year but since DX 12, HBM2 GPU and other tech coming in the very near future Ive decided to hold off. Yes I know the tech gets better every year, Im just waiting for the right moment. Need a lot of power and storage so thats why there is a 6 core CPU and 3 hard drvies.

You're better off waiting a few more years (3 - 4), and most of this stuff will be half the price if not more.

The CPUs will be on generation 8000 for Intel, and right now a high-end 4000 / 5000 series is capable of 4k gaming, so by then their mid-range should be well above an i7 4000 / 5000 (probably an i5 8000 6-core), and still be priced similarly if not lower.
$299

GPU wise Pascal is coming then Volta from NVIDIA, and Volta should bring with it HBM2 which would be the biggest gain to 4k gaming IMO, and by then the 980 ti would be mid range (Volta X60's card).
$299 each ($600)

DDR4 will have better speeds, and be much cheaper.
32GB $150

And finally SSD's will be much cheaper with more space, and phase out HDD completely.
2TB $299

4k Monitors will be MUCH cheaper and better.
$299 for a good 28"

That's $1,800 in saving alone with better specs all round and 2x as much SSD space. There's no reason to get into 4k gaming right now since the PC needed to max games coming out at 4k cost as much as a Used Car. 1080p and 1440p are more than enough and easily achieved at a reasonable price.

Making the engines capable of 8K shouldn't be too much of a problem, and besides, this is only for future proofing the games anyways.

If future tech really is as great as they say it is, then PC's will be in it for a treat. Obviously it'll be for those who have the money at first, but eventually the price drop will be manageable. And of course PC players will be using a Monitor.

Don't worry there is lots of time yet, these new technologies always take longer to come to market than planned, if they ever do.

And we're going to have to have some massively wide memory buses to take advantage of such speed enhancement, unless they are planning to put the memory on the same die as the CPU and/or GPU.

You guys do know that the fox engine and snowflake engine are the only 2 new next gen engines made to take full advantage of the ps4/xbox one and your pc hardware.

I see unreal engine 3 being used in 2019 at this rate
