I'm looking to buy a GPU that can run Overwatch at 144hz 1080p. Any suggestions? 

I think that the GTX 1060 or RX 480 can so over 100FPS most of the times. IF you want over 144FPS at all times then you'll probably have to spend more on a GTX1070

A used GTX 980 Ti could be a good investment, as well. :)

Pretty much what the guys above me said. From the benchmarks i've seen and for the results you want the best options are either a 1070 or a 980 Ti. I'd personally go for the 1070 over the 980 Ti as it is more power eficient, costs about the same and generally has the same performance. That said, if you can find a use 980 Ti for a good price, go for it.

depends on what settings you're comfortable with

maxed out, probably something like a 980/ti or 1070

but dropping down to very high and high, then a 1060/480

and around medium, probably a 1050ti or 470
