I just built a system with an rtx 3070, however I'm going to need more monitor connections. If I remember correctly, you always want to have the same series cards so you don't run into driver issues. With that being said, if I simply want to add a cheap card to this system so I can add more monitors, do I have any options?

Just need two more monitors. If the drivers for that gt710 won't clash with my 3070 drivers, sounds like it would be more than sufficient.

The same driver for your RTX 3070 also works for the GT 710. If you won't be doing much intensive work on those displays then the 710 is a great option.
