I am looking to make the switch from Windows to Mac, I am looking into getting a Space Gray Macbook Pro 13.3inch with 4 thunderbolt usb c ports, and I have some serious questions.

1. I have a 4K LG monitor with display port and x2 HDMI ports, can I connect the laptop to this monitor via display port and if so what products and what is the max resolution the display can run at powered by a Macbook.

2. I want to use a few peripherals such as the Logitech MX master mouse and an all black wireless keyboard with the Macbook Pro, can they connect via bluetooth? And what's a nice looking black keyboard that is compatible with the Macbook Pro.

Assuming you're referring to the latest 2017 MacBook Pro 13" with 4 TB ports:

1. External Display Resolution Supported: One display with 5120 by 2880 pixels at 60 Hz, up to two displays with 4096 by 2304 pixels at 60 Hz

2. The Logitech mouse and keyboard should work with that model MacBook Pro. Be sure to check the Logitech specs for compatibility.

As far as keyboards that are compatible with a MacBook Pro, there are many. Checkout this LINK.

This is great, thank you, so I will be able to use display port? Which adapter do I get?

You'll need a MiniDisplayPort to HDMI adapter. (The MDP is the same as Thunderbolt.) Be sure to buy a quality adapter. Although Apple overcharges for their adapters, they are generally high quality. Check Amazon and also Mac Sales (www.macsales.com)

This one from Amazon should work though I have never used that brand. Monoprice should have the right cable as well. Their support is good and the prices are generally cheaper than Apple as well.
