Are you gaming?  If so, the Vanquish level 3, Best, with its gtx 1070 is just right for the budget and you 1080p monitor. 

If no gaming, then the level 2 , Better, would be fine. 

If in the budget get the best you can, the Level 3.  Never know what you'll be doing in a year or two.

The Vanquish is non-oc and just pick the storage you need.   Try to stick with Western Digital for a hard drive.  Better reliability and warranty.

For 4K you will need SLI 1080s or an overclocked Titan I think.

Yep, for 4K , you need at least a gtx 1080 or sli, 2x 1080 if you want high graphics at decent frames.   A gtx 1070 will drive a 4K, but graphics would have to be lowered.
