Gtx 1070 Issue with Z170x motherboard.

I recently built my first rig and I am in the process of setting it up.
Motherboard: Z170x Gaming3
Cpu: Intel I7 6700k
Ram: Corsair Vengance 16gb
Gpu: EVGA geforce 1070 8gb

I used manjaro for a long time because I am not an advnaced user of linux. So I successfully installed the latest version of manjaro and I am looking to optimize my graphics card. After running the nvidia-xconfig setting my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file shows it has been generated by that command. However upon opening nvidia-settings i am met with the dialog that i am not using the nvida driver. This is confirmed by
glxinfo32 | grep OpenGL
which outputs
OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) HD Graphics 530 (Skylake GT2) x86/MMX/SSE2
OpenGL core profile version string: 4.5 (Core Profile) Mesa 13.0.2
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 4.50
OpenGL core profile context flags: (none)
OpenGL core profile profile mask: core profile
OpenGL core profile extensions:
OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 13.0.2
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30
OpenGL context flags: (none)
OpenGL extensions:
OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.2 Mesa 13.0.2
OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.20
OpenGL ES profile extensions:

It seems to me that my integrated graphics on my motherboard is standing in the way of allowing my GPU to use the proper drivers. I should note that i am only able to use the hdmi output on my motherboard probably due to the lack of drivers being used on my gpu.
Please Help if you can.
Also here is my xorg.conf
