Looking to upgrade my aging GTX970 to something that will provide more headroom while staying under $350 USD. My primary purpose is viewing 1080p h264/vc1 Blu-rays @ 2560x1440 60Hz using madVR, MPC-BE, and LAV Filters. My current GTX970 struggles to keep the queues full while screaming to stay under 75 degrees C.

I'd look for a good deal on like a 1080ti or 2070 super. You might be able to get the super for around 300-350 soon. Or if you can wait for the 3060 itll probably be around 400
