As Evasive noted, workstation class systems would be a lot better for what you want to do. Stability is obviously a must over 'overclocking', so a workstation motherboard, XEON CPU's, ECC RAM and decent workstation graphics cards would be required as is a decent high quality power supply. If you wish to do this cheaply, definately go for i7 CPU's and a workstation motherboard - look at a high end graphics card for the 4k work or preferably two in SLI (nVidia - at least the 6GB GTX 1080) or ATI's xfire.
What I mainly noted is going with windows 7. If you plan on building systems to suit your needs, windows 7 licence keys are like rocking horse manure, unless you have your own. Windows 10 isn't great, but is less 'clunky' now than windows 7 (I mainly use Linux, but windows 10 too with windows 7 at work. Windows 7 looks, feels and runs very poorly compared to windows 10, but thats my view and that is down to software that you wish to run - bear in mind if you run windows, expect better drivers for windows 10, which in turn means better 4K support (especially in VR)..
