[SOLVED] Suggested upgrade path for GPU in video editing machine

[Brady_b88]

I am a video editor and work with many high-quality motion graphics. I have a pc that I built a while back and just upgraded to a Ryzen 7 3800x and 32gb of DDR4 3200. I currently have a Gigabyte 1050 ti. I would like to get into custom water-cooling loops but I feel it's more important to get my GPU up to spec before I spend all that money on a custom loop. I do not have a very big budget($350 range-preferably less). I was looking at an AMD Radeon RX5700 XT but quickly realized that was a little out of my budget especially since I am going to need to buy a water block for it as well at some point when I decide to go that route. I'm just looking for suggestions on which GPU would be most cost-effective and give me the best performance that I can get out of my PC.

Thank you,
Brady

There is this one,

just don't know if you can find a waterblock for it.
A review,
Secret GPU: RTX 2080 in the RTX 2060 KO, Up to +47% Workstation Performance - YouTube
hard to say btw if they still use that same gpu die and if it will help with what you do.

Unfortunately, it is out of stock and the only other one is $390. Do you know of any other ones?

Same name, but might well not have that same gpu die used,
