Budget (including currency): 315 USD Max (Can go over slightly)

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: COD, GTA, MC, and streaming.

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

I'm trying to find a decent GPU and I don't really need much since it'll be all on a 75HZ monitor. What GPU should I get?

Getting a GPU that matches your CPU well is always good. With the 9700K, depending on how much over your budget you can go and how much extra wattage your PSU has, I'd say you can get an RTX 2070 Super or maybe even get up to the 30 series (if you can find decent prices for RTX models, they're astronomically inflated in price right now) or you can probably find GTX 1080 or 1080 Ti right now for around what your budget is if you're willing to buy it used and if your local marketplace apps have people selling it.

Thanks. Do you have any opinions on the GTX 1660 Super?

I was looking at it myself for a little bit. From what videos I watched on it and looking at a graphic cards comparison chart I like to use, it looks decent for its MSRP. I'm personally looking at a 980 Ti or 1070 Ti since you can find them on the used market for somewhat reasonable prices
