@domtunny,
I don't game but I assume you'll be dual booting win for gaming? You'll most always get better gaming performance in win as nvidia and AMD devote more time to their win drivers for OpenGL performance. Just look up benchmarks and user reviews to see if the GPUs meet your gaming needs in win.
I don't own a 4k monitor or camera and I don't edit in 4k so I hope any other users here who do, can comment on that. Unless you are shooting and editing a highly compressed 4k format, Your bottleneck will most likely be disk read and write speeds, so be prepaired to invest in a big raid array or lots of huge SSDs. Also, Not sure what monitor/4kTV you own, but here's a good article to read:

I can say that this system outperforms all Macs but the most expensive Mac Pros that cost over twice as much. However, this is a complex build for a first timer and you should be prepared for a steep learning curve. You're use case will also benefit from dual GPUs which will add complexity, and even better but more complex (not compatible with stock OSX drivers) would be dual 780ti or 980 cards but I haven't personaly tested either of these set ups and can't guarantee how the will work. If I were jumping to a 4k workflow, I'd spring for 2 980s or titans.
