Yes, a Nvidia RTX-2070 Founder Edition (back blower and normal-height card) should work nicely
in the Aurora-R7, as long as you got the 850w PS.

I have the Corsair 750 w and how can I tell if the graphics card is a back blower or open air??

So, you upgraded to a Corsair 750w PS and it is working fine ( with some current dedicated video card)?
Post a link or some pics of card.

@ a Nvidia RTX-2070 Founder Edition (back blower and normal-height card)
Humm.. I thought for the RTX series, the reference Nvidia 2070 was an open air, double fan, card (would be recirculating hot air in that small form factor case).
On a related note, not sure, but I think I recall some complaints of people having trouble getting the second fan to work properly with AWCC (like, the Dell software is designed to work only with single fan cards like what comes OEM). Maybe someone else who purchased such an open air card can comment on this though, as I'm not sure on that.

@Nmasier :
I don't think there's anything wrong with the 750W. @Tesla1856 probably asked for you to post some pics so that we can see the spacing clearance to fit the 2070 FE. I think pics you posted are waiting to be moderator approved. Hopefully you posted one where we can see your existing graphics card and the PSU.
@r72019 :
Agree, the RTX FE cards are open twin fans: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/nvidia-turing-gpu-architecture-explored,5801-12.html
There may be rumors floating around the ether that NVIDIA initially started out with the blower as they always had for GTX FE cards and then backed away from that.
I did not install an RTX FE card into my R8 but the twin fans on my MSI RX580 Armor OC worked fine in Afterburner. AWCC never had any control over them. For my EVGA 2080 Super XC Hybrid, I can control overclock, power, thermal, and voltage limits in AWCC but not the fans. That has to be through X1. If your concern is that NVIDIA unlike their reference partners, did not come up with a control software, I think Afterburner should be versatile enough to handle the twin fans.

Sorry, maybe I mis-posted. Really, I just wanted to see if proposed card was a normal height (so it would fit under PS triangle brace). OP wants to know if it will work, but dragging the details out of them is ....
I should have known by the content of the first post. I think I'll let yall take it from here.

You would have heating issue due to open fan card design.
The pic above is my R8 left panel which should be the same as your R7. You see that red circle I highlighted there? That's exactly where the hot air from the card with open fan design will want to vent out. If you looked at the PCIe slot the graphics card slots into, the heatsink fins of an open fan card will be at the location of that blocked out piece in the panel. So you will run into hot air recirculation.
@coldfish_91 did very good work with his 2080 Ti: https://www.dell.com/community/Alienware-Desktops/Aurora-R9-DIY-project/td-p/7420250/page/2
I did something similar to my RX580 card: https://www.dell.com/community/Alienware-Desktops/Aurora-R8-Experience-of-Buying/m-p/7352232/highlight/true#M11643

The founders edition should fit it is a 9 inch card and and right now I have a 1060 which is longer but the 2070 pcie plug is in the back so it makes it more like. 10 inch card which should still work. I just need to know if an open air card would work. And if so could I upgrade any coolers to help the heating situation??

I said that in jest. It's not a good idea to leave the panel open over extended period of use. And you also mess up the airflow for the front fan going to the radiator fan on top. If you have a headset, I think you can keep the case closed, let the GPU run hotter and fans will be louder.

So what could I do abt that. What could I do to make the card work in my pc??

You could, but the spinning fans and buzzing pump may bother you. And you will get dust into the PC.
How much performance from an open case? In my pic above, I have a liquid cooled 2080 Super. Max temp on the GPU is 50C when radiator is placed outside the case. Compared to 56C in my most optimized closed case config. Due to NVIDIA GPU Boost 4.0, that translates to ~15MHz in core clock boost.
