I too found the 5k Mac screen breathtaking, but with no spare kidneys to 
sell, I'll probably stay happy with hd.  

I really haven't seen much in the way of other brand's 5k monitors,  just 
Dell. As for video cards, the only one I know anything about it the asus g 
force.

I wouldn't mind going 4K for now, but even that is a pretty penny upgrade.
