So I currently have an RX 570 4gb and I am looking to upgrade via the used market (Ebay) because you can get some great deals right now. My problem is I eventually want to water cool my computer in 2-4 years and want something that I can get a full cover water block for in the future (So no higher end EVGA versions of the NVIDIA cards and no higher end versions of the Sapphire cards). I was looking around the 1070, 1070 Ti, and Vega 56 range, but I also don't want the card to look bad with the stock cooling solution. Know any good cards I should be on the look out for? Thanks!

Did I understand this correctly - You want to buy used old GPU to buy an expensive water cooling for it in a couple of years?

Main system: Ryzen 7 7800X3D / Asus TUF Gaming B650-Plus / G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO 32GB 6000Mhz / Zotac RTX 5090 SOLID OC/ x2 WD_BLACK NS770 2TBs/ Corsair HX1000i/ NZXT H5 Flow

Well I want something that will still be halfway decent then and most new cards that have the option for water blocks are just too expensive so yeah kinda.

2-4 years is a long time to plan for friend. Buy what will work for now. Don't worry yourself with what may work in a few years. So much changes in 2 years. 

 

If you know you're going to upgrade in 2 years then work on saving your money now.
