New graphics card - the best you can afford.

Agreed. It's hard to say how the next few years will pan out in regards to physical core utilization in games, given that the new console gen are 8 cores, but regardless of anything else, you need a new gpu today and that gpu can still be used with any other system upgrades you may find necessary over the next few years.

Having said all that. I would never recommend wasting your money supporting scalpers so you should give it a couple (few?) more months for gpu stock to stabilize. Unless you get lucky and catch one at msrp. Just don't buy any rtx 3080 pictures on ebay.
