A 3070 would fit nice in there, if you can find it at MSRP. If your not willing to wait a used 1080ti/5700XT would work

I would suggest a 3060Ti is enough for 1080p even at 144hz in 95% of games.

Alright thanks for the suggestion! I might take a look at the used market, because frankly at this point, anything would be better than my GTX 950.
