this work?
Yep! Looks like you can squeeze this 7900XT in, it's bang on your $700 limit: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/3BQcCJ/sapphire-pulse-radeon-rx-7900-xt-20-gb-video-card-11323-02-20g.
Here's TomsHardware's review of the 4070, includes the 7900XT and 4070 Ti (~$30 over your $700 limit) on the charts as well: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4070-review/4.
This is a tad long so splitting it out to its own paragraph: The 7900XT is better raster performance and more VRAM than the Nvidia cards. Some people do have issues with AMD drivers though (I had issues with my Radeon VII and 0 issues with my Nvidia cards, the friend I sold it to had 0 issues with it and only ever had problems with Nvidia cards, so seems luck of the draw). The Nvidia cards offer better raytracing performance, and in many games DLSS is a bit better than FSR, though that matters less given the 7900XT should run most games without needing upscaling to begin with. I believe Nvidia's encoders (for streaming/recording) are slightly better, but it's very close this generation, so probably not a deciding factor unless you're a full time streamer or youtuber. Nvidia cards will also work better in most non-gaming tasks due to better industry support for CUDA and Nvidia's drivers.
TLDR: AMD is better normal gaming performance and more VRAM, Nvidia cards have the edge in ray-tracing and upscaling + some non-gaming tasks. Pick whichever you think will work better for you, assuming you play at 1440p or lower any of the cards listed will be excellent.
EDIT: There's actually a 4070 Ti available at the same $699.99: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/9mNYcf/msi-ventus-3x-e-oc-geforce-rtx-4070-ti-12-gb-video-card-rtx-4070-ti-ventus-3x-e-12g-oc.
