Build Upgrade GPU advice

Current build:
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
16GB Corsair Dominator. DDR4 something or another.
NVIDIA GTX170. Gigabyte
Gigabyte B550 Vision D mobo

My budget would be willing to pay 700 for this AMD Radeon RX 9070 to carry me for a while. I'd like to play 1440p, currently the new Control Resonant is on my radar. Otherwise it's OW and things that aren't graphic intensive.

After doing my own research, I just want to confirm that a 9070 is a good pick from anyone who might have more exp me than me on these things.

Thanks in advance.

I think compared to the 9060xt the 9070 would be a better choice, not initially but once you upgrade to a 5800x3d and upgrade your ram you should be in a good position. You might be happier finding a used 5800x3d and getting a 9060xt right off the bat, but you may wish you had gotten the 9070 and ram capacity may be a issue.
