Hello,

I'm thinking about getting one of these GPUs:

https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N2070GAMING-OC-8GC#kf
http://www.gainward.com/main/vgapro.php?id=1025&lang=en
https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N1070G1-GAMING-8GD-rev-10#kf (this one I linked is rev 1.0 - there is also a rev 2.0 - not sure yet if my store is selling the 1.0 or the 2.0 rev - let's assume it is the 1.0)
https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N107TGAMING-8GD#kf
https://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/ROG-STRIX-GTX1070-O8G-GAMING/

The GPU would go on the following system:

Motherboard: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MPG-Z390-GAMING-PLUS
CPU: https://ark.intel.com/products/126687/Intel-Core-i5-8400-Processor-9M-Cache-up-to-4-00-GHz-
RAM: https://www.kingston.com/datasheets/HX426C15FBK2_8.pdf
PSU: https://www.inter-tech.de/en/products/psu/atx/aps-620

Which of the 5 GPUs would be a good choice? Or suggest other if none of the ones I've listed; - I can't afford 1080/1080Ti or anything above the standard RTX 2070.

Sidenote: is the PSU ok or should I change it?

i would personaly go for the gtx 1070ti the rtx 2070 (i have one) is hard to use with rtx on so you will mostly use it rtx off so it has no real benefits in using it the powersupply i have never heard of the brand before and i can't find solid reviews on it so i would sugest going for another one tip for next time its easier to list the pc parts just by typing them in most of us know the parts and it can be quite annoing having to push links :p

" is hard to use with rtx on" can you elaborate? I don't mind reading an explanation if you can link one in case you don't feel like chatting up the subject :)

"so it has no real benefits in using it" - most reviews I've found and what I've read so far on Google point it out as being slightly better. Also, taking into account that Its a new system I'm building - shouldn't I get straight on the 2000 series rather than have to upgrade later on from the GTX ? That + the slight performance bump for the same price.

Sirtec 700W, Simplicity Series, RED LED, HPG-700ST-T12S, 80 PLUS - will this PSU do?

Sorry about the links, thought I'd be accurate as possible :p

thanks for your reply!

it's not hard to use with rtx on but the rtx you pay for is not worth it cause in my opinion the rtx 2070 is not ready to run the rtx. you get a big performance decrease and the card can't handle rtx like it should maybe with updates it will get better but if i could turn back time i would go for a 1070ti and wait for the next generation of rtx to get the benefits it gives. it is a solid card though if you don't want the rtx don't get me wrong i really enjoy the card. better question maybe what kind of gaming are you going to do? cause if it is 1080p rtx 2070 may be a bit overkill.gtx 1070ti will probably be too but they are atm future proof as for the psu im sorry im not the best person to ask i would look for a good quality modular psu

If you've got the money for an RTX then obviously that would be the best option but for price to performance I would go with the GTX 1070. The cheapest option you linked would be best.
