I'm looking for a GPU since my r9 390 died. I'm willing to take an RTX2070. But I'm a bit confused as to which RTX2070 should I buy. And will it bottleneck with my current system? Which available 2070 will be the best in terms of performance per Dollar?

My System:
MSI B150 Gaming M3
Intel i7 6700
16GB DDR4 2400MHz RAM (8*2)
Thermaltake ToughPower 750
MSI G24C 1080p 144hz Monitor

Here are the options available in my country:
MSI RTX2070 Gaming Z Trio @790USD
Asus Dual RTX2070 OCE @800USD
Asus Strix ROG RTX2070 @835USD
Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme RTX2070 @740USD
Gigabyte Windforce RTX2070 @630USD
Galax RTX2070 EX @640USD
 
Solution
You should buy a Radeon VII 😉

Personally I’d buy the Gigabyte 630 card if you’re concerned about price, the MSI card if that’s not an issue. But I just like MSI cards.
Will there be a large difference in terms of performance between Gigabyte Windforce & MSI Gaming Z? If so, then how much? Is it worth the extra money? I mainly play Rainbow Six Siege, but looking forward to playing Metro Exodus which will release in next month.
 
I play on a 1080p 144hz panel. I normally crank up the settings to high (Not very high or Ultra) while setting the antialiasing to MSAA 2x.
As for getting a 2080, we're talking about at least 100USD price gap between a low end 2080 & Asus RTX2070.
