Intel i7-7700K 4.2GHz,
NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti ,
32GB RAM,
3TB HDD,
240GB SSD,
WiFi,
Liquid Cool,
Win10

I believe i have 800W power supply. does the motherboard come with TWO 8 pin pcie connectors considering it does have one 6 pin and one 8 pin? this is probably the only information left to decide..
 


The aux pcie connectors are on the graphics card, not the motherboard.
A 800w psu will normally have 4 or more 8 pin or 6+2 connectors for graphics cards.

The RTX2080ti will fit into a pcie x16 slot on the motherboard where it will receive up to 75w of power.
Since the card needs more than 75w, added power will come from the two 8 pin pcie cables from the psu.
