Recently pulled a passive cooled GPU from my main rig and installed a GTX 1070FE. Plugged in the 8 pin PCIe for the GPU. Upon pressing the start button on the PC the system takes a second before it boots whereas before it was immediate. Could this be PSU related?
 
If you have HDDs, it could be that the extra current is slowing down their spin-up to a ready, polled state, but otherwise I'd just suspect it takes a second for the video card firmware to load and execute.

You should be able to measure the 12V rail with a multimeter during the sequence to see if it's drooping excessively, but if it only takes a second you may need a meter with a max/min value function to catch what it's doing.
 
It's a 650w Seasonic Gold. 2 NVMe drives, 4 fans, no HDDs during boot or at all until I do a backup and then it's powered on by a Lian Li power strip so again basically no HDDs. The only thing that changed was going from the passive GPU to the 1070. No bios changes or anything.
