If you're just using a 1070, you can bifurcate the PCIe slot using a riser card and split it into 2 x8 slots. You can then run a PCIe extension cable from one of the slots mount the card directly on the chasis server-style, so long as it's insulated.
I've done this kind of setup in very small mini-ITX builds several times. Yes, your graphics card will fall back to PCIe 3.1 x8, but that actually shouldn't result in more than a 2-3% drop in frame rates, at the most (in most workloads)
doesn't seem like it would work with this
