The Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming is a graphics card fitted with a high-end Pascal GP104 based GPU. It offers the best quality for the price it has, considering it's one of the cheapest GTX 1070 cards on the market. It's also quite small and compact and can fit in any medium-sized chassis. It has some issues with cooling though and you need to be extra-careful to provide proper ventilation inside the chassis to keep it cool.

Pros
Pro Best bang for your buck
Priced at $399.99 it's one of the cheapest GTX 1070 cards on the market. Its relative high power (backed by multiple benchmarks, most notably a 3DMark Firestrike score of 16529) coupled with the relative low price make the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming one of the best graphics cards when considering the quality-price ratio.
Pro Can easily fit in any chassis
At roughly 28cm in length, it has a pretty compact body and can fit without any trouble in any decent chassis.
Cons
Con Needs proper ventilation inside the chassis to keep relatively cool temperatures
Even though the fans that the GTX 1070 G1 Gaming uses are excellent, the lack of proper ventilation holes in the backplate make it very easy to trap heat inside the card. To compensate for that you need to make sure that there's proper ventilation inside the chassis.
Con Can easily trap heat
The 1070 G1 Gaming has a metal back-plate which covers the back of the card. However, it does not have any ventilation gaps or holes. This can easily create issues with heat being trapped inside the card.
