Question I am down to three GPU choices, need guidance

[vwcrusher]

My current system (about 4 years old) is below. I primarily play RPG games (like Star Citizen); not really into FPS games. At any rate I recently upgraded my 15 year old monitor and I would like to play at 1440p.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor
MB: Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS ATX AM4
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16
PSU: SeaSonic FOCUS Plus 650 Gold 650 W 80+ Gold Certified
GPU: EVGA FTW2 GAMING iCX GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 8 GB
Display: Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQ
Display 2: Benq BL2420PT

In reading through this forum and checking out reviews, I have three potential GPUs.

- 6700, 6700 XT, and 6800 XT, others?

Given the above, I would really appreciate any suggestions as to which way I should go to play at reasonable frame rates and settings. I also am looking to 'future proof' this build until a more comprehensive update is required. In addition I am not completely stuck on the above cards, as I am far from an expert.

If you can I would appreciate what manufacturers to focus on, and who should I avoid.

Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to try and provide enough background and conditions so that you have enough information.

Thanks very much

Thanks for the suggestion, but when I look at the pricing, with the $20 discount, the price is $349...am I missing something? From comparing specs it seems that the XFX is faster...

And thanks for the power information; given the increased power requirements for the 5800X at 105w (I think), are we getting too close?

Oh you are right, it’s $349.99 after the $20 promo code.

I think your 650 watt psu will be okay, the rx6750xt only consumes 20 more watts than the rx6700xt. But if you want to be extra safe, get the 6700xt. And the 5800x actually consumes 142 watts, TDP is in basic terms the amount of heat energy the cpu gives off (not technically accurate but for our purposes the definition works).
