My budget is around $1100 - $1250 for playing games like GTA V at least on mid settings and for smooth gameplay.

For just the GPU? What are the components you already have exactly, by model?

Assuming you already have your hardware picked out that will be capable of supporting games at least at mid settings, I'm going to suggest a 3060 (or AMD equivalent) if you play at 1080. My son bought a pre-build budget machine with a 3060 last summer, and it still runs newer games fine/smoothly at 3840 x 1080 21:9 resolution in mid-settings and the defacto 60 fps. But if you plan to play at higher resolutions, I'd say at least a 3070. On high settings with no RT, I was still able to hit 80+ FPS on most games at 1440p (including Cyberpunk and Hogwarts Legacy), and the defacto 60 fps at 4k when I had my 3070 (again, that's without RT, and with a Ryzen 5 5600X cpu). So I would expect a budget build + 3070 should be able hit 60 fps on mid-settings at 1440, and even at 4k depending on the game. The only caveat is future proofing, if that concerns you, and 3000 series cards are a little long in the tooth with 5000 series looming.

What's your current system specs and what resolution will you be using.
