Recently I got a very nice LG 43 inch 4k display for my work laptop setup (no personal cost, yay!) and I'm wanting to use the screen with my aging tower gaming rig.
My current setup is visible here:

I used to run Eyefinity with three 1920x1080 screens but now I've only got the 4k and a single HD screen plugged in. The 6970 does not support a 4k resolution and I've found that even if I try to play a 4k video the system cannot handle it. CPU gets peaked out and the audio/video is very choppy and out of sync or doesn't even play.
My ideal upgrade would be the Vega 64 but it is way too expensive right now.

I'm just looking for recommendations on an interim video card which can help me handle a 4k desktop with video playback as well as maybe some gaming at 1080p. Looking at price range of $100-$150.
