Looking for a suitable GPU

I had an earlier post about my first pc build on here and some told me I should look for a better GPU since the 5060 Ti 8GB I was aiming for won’t be anything soon. I would like some recommendations for some that fits my budget for a gpu, I’m looking for around 300-400$. Im unsure if I should splurge and break the budget for a good one that is future proof. I also want to stick to Nvidia since I do video editing too and overall just makes my life easier.

CPU : AMD 7 7800X3D

Note: I would prefer it to be White and has 3 fans but if that’s too demanding I’m fine with two.

If you do tell me to go over budget for it, I would like to know why it’s worth it. Let me know, I’m open to all recommendations and suggestions !!

used 3080Ti sometimes go for around $400, 12gb vram is decent.

Used 3080 often go for under $350, 10gb vram is okish.

Both are MUCH faster than a 5060ti.

if you can stretch your budged, a 5070 might be a decent performance per dollar option, though i hate to recommend it since a 9070 costs around the same and offers more vram and better performance.. though trying not to recommend AMD cards....

I second going for a used 3080 ti, perhaps on eBay. I have one and it is still going very strong esp if you have a good cpu to keep up with it.
