Hi, I'm building my own PC for the first time and bought all of my gear this black friday/cyber monday. I ended up buying two GPUs because I wasn't sure which one I wanted and figured I could hand one of them back anyway. Since I am not very experienced I am not sure which one I want to keep though. So I figured I might ask someone more competent, you guys! Here is the build:

So, with the PC I will be coding (doing data science work i.e. training neural networks, doing topological data analysis etc.), CAD work for 3D printing (I'm no expert but on occasion I download a file with very many vertices) and of course gaming. Currently I am keen on DOOM, Forza Horizon 4, Hitman, Halo, Wolfenstein (the entire series), Assassin's Creed (the entire series again) , Fallout, Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077 (when it arrives) and sometimes older titles like Age of Mythology. As you can tell mostly local singleplayer stuff. I have good eyesight but shit reflexes and am bad at games in general. Therefor I opted for a 4K panel at 60 HZ rather than a high refresh rate monitor as I am more interested in a nice visual experience than becoming the best in the world. I have this unrealistic hope of being able to play some games in 4K.
So my question to you then is if I can get the RTX 2070 for ~$499 and the RX 5700 XT for ~$489 which one should I take? I have been looking around a lot and people are saying the AMD card has a really good cooler but I am getting no hits on this specific 2070 skew.
Many Thanks!
PS. If you don't think I am being awfully silly and if you have any opinions at all maybe you could also help me decide between the two listed LED-strips.
