Do not buy an Nvidia GPU if you don't plan to upgrade the cpu soon after, it's going to be wasted.

What and pay £600-£700?
The OP’s 4790k needs to be changed anyway. It shouldn’t influence the decision imo. It’s going to be bottlenecking a 6600 XT.
The Rx 6600 XT is looking like an excellent 1080p GPU:

It's an upgrade (in theoretical performance) vs the 5700 XT, sadly no reference model though.
I think the main problem is still availability, for AMD it's even worse than Nvidia, leading to the same, if not more so inflated prices.
