Hi Folks,
I bought myself a D65U Vizio 4K TV last year because it was the best 4K TV for gaming due to it's low input lag and price point. I was hoping I would be playing the next gen console gaming this year, but both Sony and Microsoft both announced at E3 that they'll be waiting until next year... That being said, I've resorted back to my old gaming PC and playing games. I've tried playing some newer games at like Overwatch and Fallout 4 but it starts to lags on medium/low quality so I've resorted to playing indie games like INSIDE, and Firewatch.
I've began researching graphic cards, and I've noticed this talk about 4K 60hz at 4:4:4. So I checked my TV and it only supports 4k 60hz at 4:2:0 or 4k 30hz at 4:2:2 which I'm okay with. This picture HERE shows the differences from 4:4:4 and 4:2:0 and apart from a few irregularities when red and blues cross over (like the flag against the blue sky), I don't think I'll notice too much of a difference.
Here is my current setup:
Here are few options I'm looking at:

I would like suggestions for a new graphics card, a new CPU (since that is also a bottleneck), and possibly an SSD that are compatible with my current motherboard/RAM.CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 (Deneb 45nm technology)
