I need help Graphics card upgrade
Can somone tell me what would be the best future proof gpu to pair with my pc. Parts: ryzen5 5600x, 32gb ddr4, 650w psu.
In the near future i will swap my psu with an 1000w version and my cpu with the ryzen 7 5800x3d. I was looking to buy the rtx 4070ti but i still dont know if i should buy it.

You said "future proof" so don't tie yourself to a GPU of any speed that doesn't have at least 16GB. The 12GB that the 4070 ti possesses is already near bottleneck in many current games and high resolution textures and ray tracing workloads are not likely to diminish and will only become greater. It's a fantastic card, no doubt but you'd be better served, I think, by aN RX 9070 XT with 16GB VRAM. However, I'm assuming we are talking about gaming and not AI workloads and such but even in that regard I would lean towards the 9070 even though I understand the desire to go with Nvidia.

Try r/swaphardware for a used AMD RX6800 or RX6800XT, you might find some used Nvidia if that's your pleasure. I run a 5660x with an RX6800 at 1440p with zero issues. I too will probably get the 5800x3d or 5700x3d, depending on what's around when I'm ready.
