I just bought a 1070 SC Black. Little to my knowledge, it doesn't come with a backplate :(. So that raises a few questions.
Is there any custom backplates that I can buy? I also have a 950 FTW that comes with a backplate, and I was wondering if that would fit on my 1070 SC.

Will my 600W power supply be enough? It's a EVGA 600B.

PC Specs:
i5-6600k @4.7 Ghz
16GB DDR4 @ 2133 Mhz
GTX 1070 SC Black
H115i
1.75 TB of HDD
128 GB of SSD
Phantom 530

Sounds like bs to me. They've been in business for multiple years and ive read nothing but good things.

I'd go for it.

I just found this site, There's definitely some options out there.

PSU is definitely good enough. I have a 550w for a similar config.

Someone told me these weren't good because they were acrylic and it would be an oven for a GPU (reply was by an EVGA Mod. Not sure if it was a scare tactic to prevent people from buying third party), and (I believe) they are connected via magnets which, if it get's too close to a HDD it can make your data go bye, bye.

I wouldn't mind. Its used by reputable people (In the gallery section it shows it being used in a PC built by Techsource)
They probably just don't want you to use it just in case it breaks your card and they would have to give you one for free under warranty.
