The best card in your budget is an AMD RX 5700 ($350) and then if you can afford a little more you could get the AMD RX 5700 XT or NVIDIA 2060 Super (both $400). AMD is best at that price point and you should only consider NVIDIA once you can afford $500 and start looking at NVIDIA 2070 Super and beyond.

Most sensible thing would be to pick up a used 1070Ti/1080. Going to a new card for that money would be more of a sidegrade than anything.

Can you save up any more money? It's not really worth upgrading from a 580 to a 1660 Ti IMO.

well they're still in two different leagues, and he still could get a 2060 or a 5700 for that price, the last one of which is in an even higher league

2060 is $400, and at that price point AMD is best (5700 and 5700 XT). The only reason you would buy NVIDIA is if you have $500+ to spend.

What kind of power supplies and screen do you use?

To give you good advice (and not just a price) we need to know
   -Your power supply wattage,
   -Mobo (socket and type like z-90 of B450)
   -CPU
   -Cooler, number of fans and number of drives.

Your screen panel resolution and Hertz

No need to buy a 350 card for a 1080p 60 htz screen.,..

5700 sounds better with your 144hz monitor. HOWEVER if you are 100% certain about an nvidia card. get the 2060. however you should save a bit more. there is no use to get a regular 2060. the difference between it and the 2060 super is huge.
