resolution? Use case? Games/applications you want to play/use?

Planning to play esports games and few AAA games

More importantly, are you prepared to get raked over the coals for a card? Becuase this is a rather bad time to buy a card, everything is either Out of Stock, or stupidly overpriced, thanks to scalpers, shortages, production ramp-up issues and so forth

So basically you plan to play mostly competitive games (CSGO or other fps games, league of legends, fortnite... )? Is that correct?

Even if it is a bad time we can advice some cards which he could buy later on, that wouldn't be an issue i think

True, but some of the people who ask this question wanted it now, or don't mention they are just window shopping, so I give my stock answer, lest they think the current prices are acceptable.

Maybe a 1660 super

I'm hoping for lower 100 fps, can that deliver with ease on max settings??

lower 10 series (1050ti/1060) should be able to hit 1080p 144hz on comp games with comp settings and lowering settings in aaa games will give you a 1080p 60 experience. I don't have benchmarks but it's somewhere around there from what I have seen. Max settings on a 5 year old graphics card is generally not going to happen unless you want 1080p 60 in esports.

Idk about what resolutions you still want to play at but lets figure that you wanna switch at 1080p and 1440p depending of the title if you prefer performance or better visuals, i would personnally advice an rtx 3060 at MSRP, which would allow you to pretty run anything at max settings over 100fps for competitive games at 1080p or even 1440p depending of the title, and 60 fps for a more demanding title, without issues at a relatively good pricing. You could go for an rtx 3060 ti if you wanted to squeeze out more performance and allow more room for comfortable fps. I still need to see the RX 6700 XT in action before maybe putting it into the list.

used 1070?

About your CPU, it would probably bottleneck the GPU unless you want to play on a lower end card with some graphic compromises so you may consider to upgrade it to a ryzen 3600 (If you have a compatible motherboard that would save you some money) or an i5 10400. 
Basically :
The budget upgrade : 100fps+ with graphic compromises you will have better prices with older used cards like a 1660ti, a 1070 or even a used RTX 2060 
The mid budget upgrade : 100fps+ no graphic compromises for most titles at 1080p = used rtx 2070 super, rx 5700xt you can even push at 1440p over 60fps no sweat, just make sure to tweaks some settings depending of the title if its more demanding. May require a CPU upgrade to make sure there is no bottleneck at all.
The "all out" upgrade : RTX 3060, 3060ti or even a rtx 3070 for pure power, paired with a ryzen 3600 or a i5 10400 and at best a ryzen 5 5600x but you will need to change the motherboard probably for the two last options. 
Also don't forget than ryzen CPUs especially love high speed RAM so you could need to upgrade it too.

I would go for something like a 1060/1660(s/ti) or rx 580. Your processor will be a bottleneck with faster cards.
