What kind of games do you play and what is the refresh rate of your monitor ? From just a pure technical standpoint unless your 1080p monitor is a 100hz or higher then the answer would be the cheapest 2070 you can get...

I got a 2080 ti and a 60hz 4k monitor...it murders every game I play except rdr 2 and it murders that if I do a combo of high and med graphics settings, which at 4k is all you really need. I would like to get a 3000 series card...but from a techncial standpoint there is no point right now since the 2080 ti i have gets the most out of all the games i play except 1...

1080p 144hz monitor
AMD FX 8350
16 GB RAM

I'm not going to be getting a 4k monitor anytime soon. I'm thinking a 1070 might just fit the bill. I want to play Cyberpunk on max settings at 1080p

If you look at recommended settings for cyberpunk 1080p max....you are going to need a 2000 series card

Just got a 2TB 970 EVO NVMe for $250. It's on backorder though for a couple weeks.

Now I just need a monitor.

imo a 4k monitor for pc gaming is not needed unless you gaming on a large screen...even then, 1080p is great.
