The 2080 is going in a new build with a gigabyte G750H, but it won't arrive until next week. By then the 2080 will have been sold, getting a good deal on it.
 
Can't find any loose hanging 2 pin. The only reason I'm trying this is because I'm a little paranoid about buying a GPU for 850 and it being a possibility that it doesn't work.

Actually looking up my current PSU it clearly states it has 2x 6+2 pci-e connections. Guess I'm taking a closer look and undoing all of the zipties.. lord have mercy

Very detailed, excellent, thank you

hi,
 
I'm about to buy a secondhand 2080 ti, i currently have an MSI GTX 970 installed on a  XFX TS Series 550W (0ATX12V 2.2/ EPS12V 2.91 - 80 PLUS Bronze - 100-240 Volt)
So my 970 has a 6 pin connector and a 6+2 pin configuration. I figured I'd simply swap the 970 with the 2080 and have a quick check in gpu z to see if all is well. 
 
However, the 2080 ti has 2x 8-pin connectors. It's the Asus Dual GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Advanced edition. Can I still run a test to see if it works, or do I need to trust my luck?

X series specs aren't out yet, kinda hard to comment on specifics, but the monitor question truly puzzles me. 
 
Either way, the 1070 is probably (speculation) not going to outperform whatever ends up going in the new Xbox, and for 600 bucks? Bad value. (amazon has 2080 supers for $675)
Then again, going with an RTX card, the processor is probably going to bottleneck it. I'd suggest getting a 5700XT for (a lot) less money and better overall performance than a 1070.
That intel SSD for 190 dollars for (am i reading this right!?) is absolutely ridiculous. 120GB? you can get a 500GB for literally a third of that price. WD blue just to name one.
Your mobo also has an M.2 slot, why not use an M.2 SSD, Im using one thats 1TB,  (kingston A2000) that's 4 times as fast and 120 bucks.
 
Edit: Oh right, the monitor thing. To be frank, I'd suggest getting 1440P/144 and put that 4K money towards a higher CPU budget.
