Yes to both, you'll be getting at least 60fps in 1080p for any newer games (with the exception of a few poorly optimized titles) with that rig, and you should get 300 fps in CSGO, depending on the map and game mode. What Jan_26 is trying to say is that you won't see any difference once you're above 60, since your monitor will be locked at 60Hz. You will see 300+ fps if you unlock Vsync and open the FPS tracker in game though.

1070 should pull it's weight for 1080p @ 60hz for sometime. Csgo pretty easy game to run by 1070 standards and should easily get between 200~300 on paper long as you disable xbox crap in win10, but no guarantees though. People have been reporting lower fps than normal under Win10 even with xbox dvr disabled. Perhaps it's just a transition thing win10 is going through with Ms updates and gpu drivers. This is going back a few months, im not a csgo player but come across complaints here often but not of late, so hoping now things have settled.

I get the 200+ odd fps helps give an edge with server calculations and such but i'm curious, would 300fps give more of an advantage in hit boxes and stuff compared to low 200s?
 
Yeah, a few of the recent patches on both the Windows side, and the CSGO side have decreased performance for a lot of people. There are a few fixes for it, just google it and you'll see plenty of examples.

There's a lot of conflicting opinions on whether or not there is a difference between larger FPS numbers with CSGO, some people say there's no difference, some say there's a huge difference. Here's my two cents.

I've been playing CS for years, I played both Source and Go shortly after they came out, and have been playing them consistently ever since. I played CSGO semi-professionally on a sponsored team for a few years, and I've clocked many hours in game. I've played on a lot of different setups and here's what I think of the changes in FPS:

Obviously any changes between 0 and 60 fps are going to feel very different. For example, 60 feels way better than 40, and 40 feels way better than 20. This is a given. As for 60+, many say that beyond 60 you will see no difference with a 60hz monitor. I don't find this to be true. I've found that for a 60hz monitor, there is no difference past something like 120 fps. 60 fps feels smooth, but I definitely play better with an unlocked framerate, and I've found that the difference stops at 120 fps give or take.

Obviously if you're running 144hz+, the changes vary with the refresh rate. You'll feel big differences all the way up to 144 fps, and little differences out to around 160-170 fps. Not saying any of this is proven, this is just what I've found to be true as far as my experience with the game goes.

If you are that serious in high frequency gaming, you might be wanting this baby: http://www.eizoglobal.com/products/foris/fs2735/index.html

note that it's a freesync screen, so you won't be able to use that feature with nVidia card. As for across-many-games at sustained 60FPS+ (better the double) on 1440p, you should take GTX 1080/1080Ti though. Vega card might be more suitable due to freesync, but they'll release in 2 months and nobody can tell if they deliver.
