Make sure the GPU is fully inserted into the motherboard. You might want to try shutting your computer down making sure to unplug the computer itself and the GPU and then pull the card out. Check to make sure all the contacts are clear of anything and if not you can use a pencil eraser to clean...

For the second monitor you just need a displayport cable to run 144Hz. https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Gold-Plated-DisplayPort/dp/B005H3Q59U/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1475258836&sr=1-1&keywords=display+port+cable

Get the 1060. You would only want a 1070 for 1080p when trying to hold 144fps for a 144Hz monitor.

Could you have put on too thick of a layer of thermal paste? What games are not performing well?

Looks like I'm a little late but just wanted to say I also have an aurora r3 with an ASUS DUAL-GTX1070-8G and I and using the 6+2 pin from the 875watt PSU. So it works but I had to do a little modification to the case for the GPU to fit. The big latch that covers the GPU didn't close all the way...

Buying a monitor riser like these will help you get your keyboard under the monitor. Making a riser would be easy if you have some wood scraps lying around too. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=monitor+riser&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Amonitor+riser

There might be another solution and I'm hoping someone else can chime in but with GTA5 it seems like having it on an SSD solves many of the stuttering/ freezing problems.

Yeah its a pretty demanding game even for high end rigs. Stuttering used to happen to me in GTA5 anytime I started driving but a new SSD solved that. If you can afford it I would suggest getting an SSD since it will benefit your machine even outside of games.

Screen resolution? Does this happen with any other game? Having GTA5 on an SSD also solves many problems people have with stuttering. You might want to install MSI afterburner and record your temps for your GPU and CPU after gaming for a bit. They might be thermally throttling your system...

What settings are you playing at? Resolution? and is GTA5 on an SSD?

Do you own a desktop or a laptop? And what's the reason for not pulling them out of their cases?

If you already have them in hand why not try it but its always advised to use sticks of ram that come in a pair for best performance.

What resolution is your monitor?
