You have given me a lot of information I haven't had before. It still is a tough decision!
It will for sure become a Ryzen based machine, as far as I know, and a midrange card. I will post the decision here shortly. Thank you all again!

I will keep you updated about it and some testing results I will be doing, comparing it to my own 1050 Ti.
Thank you again for all the info, you are awesome.

If I may, give Sapphire cards a try, I have a Sapphire Radeon RX 590 Nitro+ and it behaves really well, review here: https://www.pcworld.com/article/3323380/sapphire-radeon-rx-590-nitro-review.html
If you can find one of these (they go for similar prices) go for it.
As for AMD/Nvidia drivers, really, you'll be fine fine with both, don't listen to the banter.
If you go for Nvidia I would suggest the GTX 1660 ti, is the second best in terms of performance per dollar.
Some numbers regarding temperatures, power consumption and performance per dollar for both cards:
