Hey guys! I just joined and I hope I'm posting this question in the right place?

Ok, first some background info,
I've been a console gamer for the last forever and am looking at buying a Corsair Vengeance 5180 prebuilt (yes I understand I could save a little bit of money building my own but with the time I have this is too convenient to pass up) My question is, should I buy a new monitor as not to "bottleneck" my new pc? Obviously, I don't pretend to know much about pc gaming and am hoping i can continue to run my main monitor that i use for my Xbox one X (Its 4k,60hz,HDR) will 60hz bottle neck me? Sadly monitors are expensive and i would definitly perfer not to buy a new one. Will i be able to continue using mine even though its at 60hz? Or should i take the leap to 1440p at 144hz? Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you!
 
That looks like a nice machine. Should be able to handle 4K fine, you just may need to tweak a few settings.

At 4K, it will be intensive on the graphics card, so you are looking to get in the 60fps range (or higher with older games or lower settings). I wouldn't expect to get much higher than 60fps at 4K.

If you're happy with your current display, you should be fine.
