Aurora R6 Gpu/power supply question
I picked up an Alienware Aurora R6 recently and have upgraded the the ram and would also like to upgrade the GPU. I saw the release date for the new RTX 2080 supercards was July 23rd and was hoping to upgrade my GTX 1070 in my computer. From my understanding this is possible though I would need to upgrade the power supply and possibly move one of the fans from the front of the case.
Right now my computer has original power supply in it which is a Dell 460w power supply. My computer has a Intel i7 7700 processor and 64 GB of ddr4 RAM 2400 mhz.
So my question here is would it be possible to put in a 2080 super one they come out? And also what watt power supply would I need to buy to be able to run my current system plus the new graphics card?
For the power supply a obviously would have to be the same Dimension so can just easily be swapped.

If you have an optical drive, Dell uses a slimline connection so keep in mind you'd also need to buy something like this to connect the Dell CD/DVD drive to the PSU: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FK5G2TF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
