Really struggling to decide on one at the moment. I have sold my RTX 2060 so in the market for a new GPU. I’m really struggling to decide at the moment and could do with some help and advice. My options are:

Get a RX 5700 XT for £360
Get a 2070 super for £430
Wait (possibly months) for a 3070.
See what AMD bring to the table (6000), however my budget won’t stretch the their £500 start price.

I currently have a 1440p 144hz monitor and play the likes of Witcher 3, AC Valhalla, Cyberpunk (when it’s released), Black Ops Cold War. I want to be able to play 1440p ultra with smooth frame rates (70+)
I’ve currently got an R5 2600X cpu and 16gb ram. I have no intention of upgrading my CPU anytime soon so please don’t recommend I do.

Also have a Corsair TX650M power supply.

Can you guys help me out? Really could do with some guidance!

How old is the PSU? I'd wait and see what the market brings up though the RTX3000 series would be out of reach due to you needing a higher wattage PSU. AMD might be a better prospect at that moment.
I bought the PSU about two weeks ago. I thought 650w was recommended for a 3070? I’m thinking of going that way but a part of me is saying get a 5700XT and then wait 2 years or so for the Ti’s to drop. I’m conflicted with myself...
