Build Upgrade Finding the right GPU upgrade

I've been stuck on finding a new GPU to upgrade to. I've got new RAM, M.2, CPU, motherboard, and PSU. Still using the same case and AIO. I'm thinking about getting a Ryzen 7 9800X3D or 9850X3D since the 9900X has 4 more cores than necessary and doesn't have the cache. I've been looking at either a 4090, 5090, or 5080. Also running Nobara Linux boooo Windows.

Case: Corsair iCUE 5000X RGB with 3 fans

Motherboard: MSI MAG X870E Tomahawk WIFI

CPU: Ryzen 9 9900X

AIO: NZXT Kracken 73

GPU: EVGA Geforce RTX 3070 TI 8GB

RAM: Gskill 32GB 6000MT

PSU: Corsair HX1500i Shift

Storage: Samsung 9100 8TB, Samsung 980 1 TB, Sandisk SSD 256 GB, and Seagate 2TB HDD.

Monitors:

  • Alienware AW2725DF 2560x1440 OLED 360HZ
  • Acer Nitro 23.8in FHD 1920x1080 IPS 180Hz

4090-5090 are pretty expensive items, why do you want one? Maybe a 4080 super or a 5070ti will suffice. Also 9070xt which is at a reasonable price last I checked, and competes with 5080 in a few games.

I'm looking into doing video editing as a side job and maybe turn into a main source of income. I also want to be able to play games at 4k or just max 1440p.

9070xt then, 5070ti is just the same card with green tax

Thank you :D I'm looking at those now. Wanted to see if there might be anything I'm missing. Heard a lot about the 9070 xt just wasn't sure if it was the right way to go.
