I am building a PC capable of running one or two 4K monitors and I was wondering if it would be worth it to get a GTX Titan Black for the build or should I just get a GTX 980?

I'm pretty sure the best gpu so far for 4k is the 295x2

Unless you need double floating point precision (if you don't know what it is, you don't need it), you don't want to even be looking at anything with "Titan" in the model name. The 780 Ti is fully unlocked Kepler without full FP64. Between the 780 Ti and 980, you probably want the 980. It will do very well at 4k and you also won't be using two monitors for Surround because the bezel will split the center of the screen.
You can't really compare dual-GPU cards to single-GPU cards. Or $1000+ cards to $600 cards, for that matter.

Normal floating point precision is accurate enough for me. I will go with the 980 then.
Another question... What's the real difference between a 400GBP 4K monitor and the 1000GBP 4K monitors?

Most likely the quality of the panel. Cheap ones will be TN and higher-priced ones will usually be IPS or similar. They may also have other features like 10-bit color and better stands.

The panel will be the biggest difference but from a well known brand the picture will still be fine just not as good as the one that costs 1 grand. You should really buy a screen that has tilt and height adjust as ones that don't really suck if you can't adjust them into a comfortable position for you, I had to sell a monitor I brought just because I could not get the height into a position I liked without having it sitting on books which ruined the look of my desk.

I would buy this 4K monitor.(IPS and 24") [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] You will need to run DP1.2 in order to achieve 60Hz.
These are cheaper options, though.

If you prefer the bigger size then it might be better for you, but both of them have TN panels.
