If I were in your situation, I would get the RX 5500 XT. It offers better or close to (depending on the game) performance to RX 590 and it's only $170 on Newegg.

Power shouldn't be an issue as it will consume only about 115W as per this review: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/am ... 500-xt-4gb

2700X power consumption: https://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/a ... iew,7.html

Given that total power draw of the 2700X as per Guru3D's review is 277W with a Geforce GTX 1080, It's pretty safe to say that your PSU should be more than up to the task of handling the 5500 XT or even the 5700 XT should you choose to go that route. However, I wouldn't because AMD may release a raytracing GPU in 2020 and the hardware upgrade bug might bite you again. So I would just save my money for the time being and go with the 5500 XT.

If I already had a Radeon RX 570, I wouldn't bother with a Radeon RX 5500XT because there isn't a huge difference in performance. For 1080p gaming, a $300 Radeon RX 5700 may be overkill. If you really feel the need to upgrade, can you wait until the less expensive Radeon RX 5600XT arrives next month?

CES 2020 is right around the corner. Hardware raytracing could be yours soon if you just wait and that should be a much better future proof upgrade.
