I currently run these specs:

● CPU: Intel - Core i7-7700 3.6 GHz Quad-Core Processor
● Motherboard: Asus - H170-PLUS D3 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
● Memory: Kingston - FURY 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR4-2400 Memory
● Storage: Kingston - HyperX Fury 240 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive, Seagate - Barracuda 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
● Video Card: Gigabyte - GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4 GB Windforce OC Video Card

I wanna know, I'm investing on getting a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 Gaming 8G OC Graphics Card. It's a PCI-E 3.0 x 16 slot graphics card. Can it fit my M.2 with PCIe 3.0 x4 interface motherboard?

And if so what would the bottleneck be? Would it be worth overclocking?

Yes the Gigabyte RTX 2070 will fit no issues and will not cause any issues with the M.2 3.0 x4 slot at all...In terms of bottlenecking, I doubt it and it will be a quantum leap of performance over the 1050ti that you currently have...

I would also look to upgrading your RAM to 16GB as RAM is at a all time low price and adding another 8gb to make 16gb would also make a difference...

Finally, you cannot overclock the 7700 as it is a non K model and your motherboard does not allow overclocking. Look to upgrade your Motherboard and CPU the next time...
