I'm looking to upgrade from my RTX 3060. Right now, I'm running a Ryzen 7 5700X at 1080p, but I plan to upgrade my setup to support 1440p gaming. I've heard some buzz about the 5070, but I'm not sure if it's a solid choice based on community feedback. What GPU would you recommend within a $600 budget?

If you're patient, you might find a used 3090 for around $600-650. Other options that pop up often include the 6950 XT for about $420, or the 7900 XT for $530. The 3080 Ti can sometimes go for $400 and the 4070 Ti around $500. If you're going for new, probably stick with the 5070 or try to catch a good deal on the 9070 XT.
The 5070 is a solid pick, especially if you're looking to future-proof your setup. If you can bide your time, the 5070 Super could be another great option. But if you want something else, check out the 9070 or RX models.
Definitely keep an eye on the 5070 and the possibility of its Super version. Those are likely your best bets for new cards. The used market could also offer some gems like the 3080 Ti or 3090 at a reasonable price if you're willing to shop around.
Just a heads up, the 9070 XT is probably going to be hard to snag for $600, usually closer to $750.
