[SOLVED] Asking what card for this build

Solution
I’d avoid the 3070. It’s barely any faster than the 3060Ti but costs 20-25% more. Id look at the 3060Ti or stepping up to the 3080.

Unfortunately the Corsair RM range have poor transient response performance and that seems to be leading to people having issues with 3000 series cards. That may also be a reason to go 3060Ti as you would be less likely to have issues. The RMx range are much better.
As @Djoza said, we need to know the budget.
Generally speaking, that system will handle any card you throw in it. Since you game at 1440p, any card from the 3000 series of Nvidia and 6000 series of AMD, will be very good options. The higher, the better, so only the budget will be your limit.

Edit: the PSU will limit you only if you want to spend a kidney's money's worth for a 3090. So any other card besides that, you are fine with the PSU as well.

I mistyped the number.That happens to me all the time,i wanted to type in 3060.
@mackjohnsonforty as @sizzling said,go for the 3060Ti,much better value.

The Nzxt H510 does not do well at all with anything with a fan in front, does mech better for cpu And gpu by just running with aircooling and the stock fans atvrear/top exhaust only. Aios are a bad choice for that case, you'll see considerably higher gpu temps as a result.

The Crosshair is a really nice board, but next to useless. If you ran a 5900x/5950x and pushed them to the max, it'd be worth the $350 expense, but for a 3700x or even a 5900x/5950x at PBO levels, even a decent B550 will do just fine. You can get the same stuff for half the price and see no performance losses.

Pre-order a RTX3080 from Evga directly, should be in the $800-$1000 range unless you go water cooled/hybrid. If you go regular retail expect to pay closer to $1600 for one currently.
