I've got an 8GB Radeon RX 580 card in my Photoshop computer to run the 4K
monitor. The old 2GB card couldn't support more than 2K, and it was the least
expensive PCIe 3 x16 card New Egg had that would support 4K.

PCIe 3 x16 was the slot available on my motherboard.
Video games are graphics intensive, but editing still images not so much.

I have been toying with upgrading my image processing capabilities. I could
throw money at my mac pro, but there are significant limitations on how much
further I could push it.
One possibility would be to upgrade the processor and GPU in my linux box and
set up a windows boot on it. The question being what would be the most cost
effective way of going about this.
Looking at the processor:

It looks as if the video is on the mobo, I don’t see a video card in it. It
doesn’t take a lot of graphics processing to run text screens under X.
