Upgrading from 1070 to 3070

[Devryd]

Hey guys, I am thinking of upgrading my GTX 1070 to a RTX 3070. I in 1080p at 144Hz. The 1070 is mostly fine, but struggles a bit in ARK SE. 
I would be getting the 3070 used. What would be a reasonable price for a 3070 in Germany? Alternatively, would you suggest a different card?

I would likely need to upgrade my PSU as its only 400W and thats already faily little with a 1070 and a R9 5900x. What wattage would you recommend here?

Thanks for your help

RTX 4060 Ti has roughly the same performance, is cheaper, uses less energy and has twice the VRAM. Might be worth a consideration.

@Eigenvektor I should have mentioned that I plan on buying used. The 3070 is roughly between 250 and 300€. A new RTX 4060 ti starts at 400€ and this is also with just 8Gb.

4060 Ti 8GB has the same amount of VRAM, and if you're talking about the 4060 Ti 16gb, it won't be cheaper than the 3070 used

850W (though it's not needed, but this unit is a good deal)

I'd say a used 3070 is a good choice

I was talking about the 16 GB model, obviously, but yeah I was comparing new cards

The obvious and best option here is the RX 6700 XT

Can you explain why this is obvious?
From what I see, the cards perform about the same and the 6700xt costs a little more, at least used.

for new yes, not if you account used

the 3070 is what I'd go for. If you can, get a 3080 used but you probably won't find it that cheap. And if you want extra VRAM get the 2080 Ti

get a 3080

Isnt a 3080 a little overkill for 1080p?

Depending on the games you play, maybe not. 5900x should be good for it but ye, the 3070 will be fine
