280x/290/290x/970 I'd say depending on budget even a 285 will be good enough.

2-3 years is kinda long, but if your staying at 1080 then i would recommend a 290X (depending on your budget). 

Ryzen 7 5800X3D, Corsair H105, Gigabyte x570 Aorus Elite, Corsair Vengeance 32GB 3600MHz, EVGA RTX 3070Ti FTW3, Samsung 850 Pro / WD SN850 / OCZ Trion 150

 

ASUS MG279Q, Corsair Carbide 275R

JayzTwoCentz predicts the 970 to be a 4-5 year card, at least from launch.

if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.

The 970 and 290x are both slotted in roughly the same price range and will deliver roughly the same performance (overall).  Not sure how DX12 is going to change that.  Either card is recommended, but it's really hard to "future proof" stuff like this.  My guess would be that you're going to be fine going with either one.

Case: HAF XB | CPU: 4690k | CPU Cooler: NH D15 | Motherboard: Gigabyte Gaming 7 | RAM: Hyper X Fury | Video Card: G1 Gaming 970 | SSD: 850 EVO |  PSU: Supernova 550 G2 |
