I've tried adding as many detailed photos as possible, and will do my best to let you know what ever info you need.. 
The Geforce 1070 that was in, has suddenly died after 2 years.. - there's no fixing it sadly. So, I need a new graphics card, but I am
overwhelmed with the many things to take into account, when finding one that is compatible. Seems like an impossible puzzle!

As far as I can tell, I don't have a modular PSU - I don't know how many watts it's on, but maybe you can see from the photos?

I obviously want to replace with something better than the 1070.. preferably 2070.. or maybe 1660. (Pref. 2070..) - but I run into 
constant issues with powersupply pins not being enough etc. 

If anyone have had to replace the graphics card on a similar machine, PLEASE let me know which model you bought. I'm absolutely lost here! :(

    Your power supply is a standard ATX supply just like probably 90% of the market, so lots and lots of options there. The expansion slot is a PCI Express x16 slot, so the standard one used by pretty much all GPUs. Many of the newest GPUs however ask for a larger supply than the 500W you have. Figure out where your budget sits to decide on which card to get, then look at it's spec to see how much power you need, then readjust the card to match the combination price for both. :)
