Is the palit one a good option tho? The 2070super.I ve never tried this brand before its got no backplate so im kinda concerned about the temps and overclocking.There is also this rtx 2060 super here which has even higher clock speeds than the palit rtx 2070 super.https://www.gigabyte.com/gr/Graphics-Card/GV-N206SAORUS-8GC#kf Or do the cuda cores matter more?

The worst 2070 super will be better, a lot better, than the best 2070. All the supers will perform similarly, all the 2070s will perform similarly.

Personally, I wouldn't go for a card with a blower-style cooler like that, as those types of coolers tend to run somewhat hot and/or noisy. The only real benefit they have is that they exhaust heat directly out of the case, which can potentially be helpful in some very small cases with limited ventilation.
As for clock speeds, they should be largely ignored when comparing different graphics cards, as other factors, like core counts and the design of the memory system will tend to play a larger role in determining the performance of differet models. You would need to check reviews to get a good idea of how different cards compare. And most designs of a particular card from different manufacturers will tend to perform fairly similar to one another, usually with only a few percent difference separating the fastest factory overclocked models from the stock-clocked models.
As far as how the performance of cards compares in this price range, in general, a 2070 should be around 3-5% faster than a 2060 SUPER, and a 2070 SUPER should be around 10-15% faster than a 2070.
And while you did mention wanting RTX (I assume for the raytraced lighting acceleration in the handful of games that support it so far), it is worth pointing out the Radeon RX 5700 XT offers performance that's roughly in between a 2060 SUPER and a 2070 SUPER on average, which makes it a little faster than a 2070 in most games at prices more similar to those of the 2060 SUPER. It does lack dedicated raytracing hardware though, and most of the models currently available have blower-style reference coolers at the moment, since models with alternate coolers have just started appearing for sale within the last week or so.

no matter how hot the blower 2070 super is, it'll still turbo high enough to be 10-15% faster than the 2070. Spending a little bit more then you'll get it cooler but basically the same performance. It's going to look something like this for cost vs performance:
350-450 = 97% = 2060 super
400-500 = 100% = 2070
500 = 112% = 2070 super blower
525 onwards = 115% = 2070 super non blower.
So the choices are obvious:
1 2060 Super, nearly the performance of the 2070 save some money
2 cheap 2070, fractionally more performance and save less money
3 cheap 2070 super, a lot more performance spend the budget
4 not so cheap 2070 super, fractionally more performance, spend over the budget
option 3 is most bang for buck and it's what you wanted to spend.
My last 3 cards (maybe 4 cards) have been blowers, never had any trouble, they ran warm but not so warm as to be a problem.
350-450 = 97% = 2060 super
