Will the 1070 handle my setup?

[resident TD]

I am currently running an MSI R9 390 and I have been having serious heat issues. Thus, I am looking to upgrade.

I run a 2560 X 1440 monitor and a 1920 X 1080 monitor. I am looking to game on the 2K monitor at somewhere between 40-60 fps with maxed detail. I play Witcher, Skyrim, Doom, etc. and I use this machine for autoCAD.

All that said, is the 1070 right for me or is there something more cost effective that does the job?

For reference, here is the 1070 I'm looking at.

Hope you have good CPU to support it. GTX1070 is fine to game at 40Fps at 2K. But it will become worse in year or two. For gaming above 60fps at 2K and to get 40fps+ for long time before upgrading GTX1080 is recommended.

The 1070 is the GPU to choose for 1440p-resolution gaming (~60-ish fps, depending on the game and settings).

Cost-effectiveness, you can opt for slightly lower clock speeds (and dual fan) GTX 1070s such as:

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Windforce OC Video Card ($379.00 @ Jet)
or
EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 8GB SC GAMING ACX 3.0 Black Edition Video Card ($374.00 @ Amazon)

But the Gigabyte G1 Gaming model you linked (at ~$400) is also good, as well as the MSI Gaming X (at ~$410).
