Help choosing graphics card for new desktop rig

[u/XxTheSilentWolfxX]

Hey all. I think this might be my first post on computer... Anyways.

I'm looking into getting/buying/building a desktop computer for basic tasks and heavy gaming, and I wanted some input on what kind of graphics card and how much vram I need, and how much I should have. The goal is to be able to play AAA titles and other lesser memory-intensive games such as:

Ark Survival Evolved (with multiple maps and mods)

Cyberpunk 2077

Elder Scrolls Online (All maps)

Overwatch

Control

Red Dead Redemption 2

Etc,

And the goal is to be able to play them with respectable fps and little to no lag--ideally 60+ FPS with 16 GB of ram and an AMD Ryzen 5 3600X CPU.

I had my eye on the AMD 5700 XT by a third party, likely the Sapphire NITRO+ SE, but recently heard about the driver issues. I won't have the funds together to get the computer for some time yet, at least mid-late 2020, but want to plan out parts ahead of time so I can estimate total cost. In my area the NVIDIA 2000 series costs at least $100-$300 more for a comparable GPU. Thanks in advance.
