so i can either get a i5 7500 with a GTX 1060 6gb with a ssd 128gb + HDD 1TB and RGB lighting or i can get a i5 7500 with a GTX 1070 with only a Hard drive of 1TB and no RGB lighting however it comes with red LED fans

It depends on what your definition of "a lot" is. And it also depends on the game. Your goal should be running games at high settings at 60fps and your rig will get 60fps at 1440p at any game that is reasonably optimized.

Take Ghost Recon Wildlands, the game is beautiful but it is not optimized very well. So instead of running ultra settings, his rig will have to go to high to push the game at 60fps. Other examples are PUBG, and ARK. These games do not utilize your PC components very well and you will have frame drops regardless of the hardware.

On the other side, some games are very well optimized and run very good like Doom which will push well past 60 fps on max settings.

I think that a 1070 is too much card for a 1080p monitor. Its like driving a race car in a school zone. Additionally, 1440p looks amazing and it is the sweet spot for resolution and refresh rate.

i learned that G-sync makes the monitors refresh rate sync with the exact FPS and i also read that if you have less than 144fps when using 144hz monitor the gameplay is really smooth. i was just wondering untill what extent does this "smooth gamplay reach till" for example it stays smooth untill you go down to 50fps.

30fps and up I believe.
