I am putting together a new build, and have run into a nasty case of choice fatigue with the graphics card. I have happily put an i9-9900k on a Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Ultra, picked out all the accoutrements, and found out there are about a million graphics cards to select from at the moment.
I'm looking to spend in the ballpark of $500 - $600, which would leave me squarely in the realm of an Nvidia 2070. I'm happy with that, as I can always upgrade the card again in a few years if needed. It seems there's been a load of cards out more recently, and with all of the different options I've hit an analytical wall. My brain is tired, heh. Is the Gigabyte Aorus Extreme worth the $560 or so, or is there a better option? I'm going air-cooled, and I don't care about the RGB stuff. I'm primarily concerned with performance and reliability. Any suggestions welcome, I've obviously been out of the loop for a couple of years and picking it all back up has been fun, but a bit of work too.
Edit: if it's worth it to go ahead and nab a 2080, I'd love the advice/feedback for that as well.
Thanks!
