Looking to buy new GPU... Which one should I choose?

[MacoyGG]

Hello LTT Forums! 

It's time to say goodbye to my long lasting old GPU, MSI GTX 970, and say hello to something new and fresh.
My current specs are 
Ryzen 5 3600 CPU
TUF Gaming x570 Motherboard
2x 8GB G.Skill Aegis 3600mhz
NZXT 650w PSU
WD SN750 NVme + Samsung Evo SSD + old Western Digital HDD
and finally, my old GTX 970 MSI

I'm only playing 1080p @ 144hz, with a 60hz secondary monitor.
I mostly play competitive titles (CSGO, COD, Apex Legends, Dota 2, Starcraft 2 ect.), but I also love singleplayer experiences and Multiplayer/MMO's. (Elden Ring, The Witcher, Deus Ex, World Of Warcraft / FFXIV)
I also like to stream/record gameplay, and edit pictures/video footage using my PC! 

Budget (including currency): Around 335£ euro / 2500,- DKK / $356 USD

Country: Denmark

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 1080p gaming, streaming/recording gameplay with OBS, light video/photo editing (Adobe)

Other details: I'm looking for something that can be a nice investment for future-proofing at least a couple of years. As of right now, I do not care about 1440p / 4K, and not looking to play in this resolution. I might look at 240hz monitor at some point in the future, so a GPU that can potentially fulfill that requirement will be a big plus. I also mainly buy secondhand hardware, so I would appreciate if someone can bring some insight into whether a RTX 20-series card is still a good buy secondhand, or if it's at the point of getting too "outdated" for the future.

I've been looking at RTX 2070 Super, RTX 3050/3060/3060ti/3070 and RX 6600 XT. 

Deals i've found so far, on secondhand GPU's in Denmark:
RTX 3060 Gigabyte Gaming OC @ approx $328 USD.
RTX 3060 Asus Dual @ approx $356 USD

GeForce RTX 3060TI @ minimum $392 USD

RTX 2060 Super @ approx $285 USD
RTX 2080 Super @ approx $392 USD 

RX 6600 XT (qick/merc) @ $356 USD

Thank you for reading, and I look forward to your feedback!

If you wanna go used, get an RTX 2070 if you can. Even a GTX 1070 is gonna be a good upgrade but not really worth it that much unless you can get it very cheap (120-140 euros) and have a plan for the 970 (gift / sell for 70, 80 bucks if you can).

If you wanna get something new, a 3060TI is fine for your CPU.

Ty for your input mate!
For second hand, the price for a rtx 2070 looks around the same price as a secondhand rtx 3060. Is it still a good deal to go for a 2070 then?

2070 and 3060 are roughly the same in terms of performance.

 

A used 2070 Super would give you a decent leg up if you can find a good deal, though.

Think i'm gonna go with a second hand "Gigabyte RTX 3060 OC Gaming" @ 328 dollars.
Only second hand 2070 Super's I can find are @ 360 dollars minimum
