I have a budget of $1700 and I want to build a PC that is able to play everything in 1440p (some of that money going to a new monitor that I would like to to recommend as well). A little fun challenge for you guys that will actually help me out a ton.

I've got two options here.
The first is a great value option, features an IPS 1440p 144hz monitor and a 1070, which I believe is the better choice here.
The second features a G-Sync 1440p 144hz TN monitor but costs $100 more.
Up to you which you decide to go with OP.
