Research the adapters , there are a lot of them , with very mixed reviews.

Make sure to look take into account the Resolution you will be running at.

What is your resolution? A GTX 1070 is completely overkill for 720p, borderline overkill for 1080p 60hz, and great for higher refresh rates and resolutions.
What games do you play? A GTX 1070 is insanely overkill for CSGO, LoL and DOTA type games, but for AAA, and the above resolution/refresh rates, it's great.
