What are your system specs?
CPU?
Power Supply?
Motherboard?
Etc.....

That depends on the rest of your system and what you have to spend.

So this is my current set up for my PC
Intel i9 9900K 3.60GHz
AMD Rx 480 8GB
G.SKILL RipJaws V Series 16GB DDR4 2666
Windows 10
MSI MPG Z390 gaming pro carbon LGA 1151
1TB SSD for window's and what not
3TB HDD for game's running at 7500RPM
850WATT corsair power supply

Go full screen and hit play on all three at once and judge for yourself.

VS RX 5700 $320

VS RTX 2060 $330

VS 1660 TI $250

With that system, you can pretty much go with any GPU you want.
What resolution are you at?
....because if you are at 1080p......you don't want to waste money with overkill.

running 1440p at 144Hz

If I had the money I would get the RTX 2080 Ti.
Here are the benchmarks at 4K and 1440p.

I bought one.
I'm running it at 4K and I love it.....at 1440p I think it would be spectacular.
Or you could save some money and go for something less....but your system would run a 2080 Ti fantastic.

$1100+, I'm pretty much sure we all want one of those.

Best Graphics Cards for Gaming in 2019

For the rest of us with more of a budget to deal with.

RX 5700 $299
XFX RX 5700 Xt Thicc II 8GB $367 " Hard-hitting card for the price and gives a 2700 Super a run for its money"
RTX 2700 Super $499
RTX 2080 Super $699

Consider the RX 5700 as the best value to start 1440p with decent frames, anything more than that just makes it better but a $1000 card well that seems like a massive overkill for the resolution.

so really anything above a 5700 or 5700xt would only be a really benefit if i was going up to 4K

No the more you pay the better FPS you're going to get but there is a value per dollar spent to consider. For 1440p the 5700 and XT at those prices offer an outstanding value and that points it out even further.
