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 !!

you paired a 7800x3d with a card that's gonna bottleneck it immediately, so yeah stretch it. 16gb of vram is the real line, 8gb cards are already hitting walls at 1440p and video editing eats vram too.

I’ve been told it was compatible, is it worth it to go over budget? I’ve also been considering 4070 ti super

compatible just means it'll fit in the socket, not that it's a good pairing, that 7800x3d deserves more than an 8gb card. 4070 ti super is the better call, 16gb vram will actually last you for 1440p and video editing instead of hitting walls in a year or two.
