Hi everyone. A couple of weeks ago my PC's GPU just ... died? It was an Asus STRIX GTX 950 which had served me for more than 3 years, which is more than I could ask for I guess. The PC recognizes it and insists that it's working properly and yet none of the games work. Anyway, I tried fixing the problem but I figured might as well make it an excuse to upgrade.
My system is as follows;
Proc-i5 6500
RAM-Corsair Veng. 1x8, 2400MHz
GPU-ASUS STRIX GTX 950
Mobo-MSI H110M Pro-VD
Upgrading my RAM to 16 gigs, getting a new case with better cooling, getting a new PSU and getting a 144Hz monitor is the first thing on my to-do list. However, about the GPU, I've been thinking about getting an RTX 2060 or a 2070.
Here's the question. Is it worth pushing my budget to get a 2070? It's quite over my budget but if it's worth the cost, I might be getting it. Here are the two models I've been considering.

I've also thought about maybe instead of pushing for the RTX, I should get a GTX 1060 and upgrade the processor with the extra money? Although I'll be using designing programs, such as AutoCad or Rhino, I'll be doing it mostly on my laptop that has a i7-8750 so it shouldn't matter that much, perhaps?
