I won’t be using more than one monitor and will keep the resolution at 1080p for another few years since there’s really no advantage in jumping to 1440p or 4K. I’m leaning toward the 1070 Strix non-OC model, but I might pick the 1080 non-OC version if it aligns with my plans! Thanks for the suggestions, and feel free to share any additional thoughts!

With a GTX 1070 you can achieve 1440p at 144hz if you're willing to accept lower graphics quality, but for better performance a GTX 1080 is recommended.

The 1080 would be more appropriate for your setup.

for 1080p at 144Hz it works well

n0ns3sss :
1080p@144hz 1070 would be ideal
1440p@144Hz 1080 would work well
I think a 1080 might manage more monitors better. Especially if he ever wants to split a game across two main screens in the future.

If the OP wants to use two monitors, a GTX 1080 would be preferable.
It's quite awkward though. I'd choose a 34" 3440x1440 screen for a wider field of view – the Dell u3415w costs $600 now.

i don't believe he's planning this right now, but you can't predict what might come later.

Obtain a 1080
Avoid choosing a Reference Model, also known as the founders edition
Regarding aftermarket options, a twin or triple cooler generally doesn't make much of a difference when comparing ASUS, EVGA, Zotac, and Palit

no need for the GTX 1080 for 1080p@144p
GTX 1070 will be much better.
As for the model, pick one that is closer to 400 as eventually they all perfrom the same.
EVGA 1070 SC black edition is like 420 - very quite and powerful card. My was running at 1960MHz before i touched anything.
