I'm new to PC building and looking for an affordable GPU that can handle 1440p gaming. My budget is between $500 and $700, though I could stretch it by up to $100 if necessary. If that budget is unrealistic for 1440p, please let me know. I'm also considering switching to 1080p if there are better deals at that resolution.

If you're willing to consider older models, the RTX 3070 is still a strong contender for 1440p gaming! Just make sure to check pricing in your region.
For your budget, the AMD Radeon 9070 XT or 5070 Ti could be excellent choices for 1440p gaming, especially if you can find them at a good price. The standard 9070 and 5070 are also more budget-friendly options that should work well within your range.
If it's strictly for the GPU, I recommend looking into the 9070 XT, as it can handle 1440p quite well. You might even want to check used options; I've seen those cards going for around $580 on sale. Just keep in mind, a good PSU upgrade might be necessary to support it.
The 7800 XT is another solid option if you're looking to game at 1440p. It's generally available under €600 in Europe and should perform really well.
Just to clarify, are you asking if the $500-$700 is just for the GPU or for your entire build? That makes a big difference!
