1060,1070 with or w/o ti, 1080

I am looking to upgrade my graphics card. Looking at EVGA and Asus, trying to understand which company and or model I need for what I want.

I mostly play Black ops 4, WoW and Overwatch...I may stream from time to time aswell. Any recommendations??

my pc is this:

I have a 144hz monitor, PSU is 483W max so I'm also wondering if this is enough or if i need more juice

I would get the 1080 if its a good deal or the 1070ti if not. I mean you could buy a 1080ti if you have the money, its a great card but somewhat overkill for your system.

Well both the 1080 and 1070Ti draw about 180 wattts under load. That leaves 300wattts for the whole system.

What PSU do you have?

Does your 144hz monitor have adaptive sync technology? (freesync/g-sync).

It seems that you enjoy e-sport titles. If you have a 1080p monitor then there is no need to go above a 1070ti, the price per performance isn't worth it.

If you have a freesync monitor I would recommend an RX-580 for around $210 or the new RX-590 for $279. If not I would recommend either a 1060 6gb or 1070, 1070ti if you find a good deal on one.

Your PSU should be okay with the nvidia cards because they are not that power hungry but you may want to consider upgrading in the future to be safe.

Good luck!

If you're buying new, I'd go for the 1070 ti, if you're ok with buying used then there are some good deals on the 1070. For BO4, depends on what settings you want, I'm not getting that great of fps with an RX 570 which isn't that much slower than a 1060. I would go for a 1070+ if you want to use decent settings in that game. Running WoW and OW is trivial compared to BO4, you'd be perfectly fine with any of those cards. We need to know what PSU you have if possible, 483W means nothing because it doesn't speak to the amperage on the 12V rail or the quality of the PSU. If I was in this case, I would get a new PSU just to be safe because 99% of OEMs come with PSUs that are basically garbage.
