What is a good motherboard for a GTX 1070?

[VirtualPenguinGaming]

The motherboard must be a LGA 1150 for my Intel Core i5 4440 Haswell processor.

Since you don't have an overclocking processor, any basic motherboard like MSI H81M-P33 will do.

If you want an M2 slot for an NVMe SSD, you can pay more for a Z97 board like the MSI ATX 2600 Z97 Gaming 5.

Doesn't a GTX 1070 need 2 PCIe Express x16 slots?

No, it will take just the one slot.

I think what you want to ask is if the graphics card (PCIe 3.0) will be compatible with the PCIe 2.0 (x16) on that mobo. The answer to that is that yes as well - they will be compatible as the slots are physically the same, with the difference lying in bandwidth (which will cause negligible bottleneck).
