A:AnswerHello，my friend. It needs only single 8 pins. If you have any K processor on your PC，750w power supply is necessary. If not like me using a I7 7700，my old 600w power is enough.
A:AnswerBob,
As long as the following items are met you should see a major difference in performance: 1. Enough room in your case. 2. PCI-E X16 capable slot 3. A power supply big enough to support this card with the right power connection. I think its a 6 pin if memory serve's me right. You can check the specs on the card before you buy it and use a power supply calculator from PCPartsPicker to see if your PS is able to support this card. The visuals running on the Dell S2716DGR monitor look amazing!

A:AnswerNo why would it bottleneck your i5 9600K??? you can only get the 2070's maximum potential. Also In what terms do you say that it will bottleneck? For gaming or video editing?
A:AnswerNot an extra one, but it has the one that is pre-installed like the pic shows. I don't think I ever seen one come with an extra backplate or not installed backplate before.
A:AnswerIt seems to be a plug & play affair. Double check the dimensions of both cards for spacial compatibility & see if a six pin PCIE cable can be added to your power supply due to most 1070 cards having a single 8 pin cable while 2080 has a 6 pin and 8 pin cable.
A:AnswerI went from a 460w to a 650w. The minimum is 550 I believe. But unless it is a gold standard PSU you may drop below minimum. I bought it for $70 and had the geek squad install it so I wouldnt void my warranty.
