Can you put just 1 x 8GB in a PC? If it's 2 x 4GB then that would leave less room for expansion

The DK2 is just a fancy monitor. Asking if your computer is going to work for DK2 is the wrong question, because every game is different. I only recently upgraded from an ATI HD5850, and had no trouble getting very high frame rates on high settings on lots of demos (Over 150fps on Time Rifters at max settings. yes on an HD5850.)
If you absolutely have to play the most graphically intensive games and the highest settings with no exceptions, yeah of course you're going to need a high end card like a 780ti or an 800 series when they come out. But you can save hundreds of dollars if you're willing to make minimal compromises on quality on just a few of those kinds of games. Just like gaming on a regular monitor. Only difference with the DK2 is that you need 75+ fps instead of 50-60 or whatever you prefer on a monitor.

The new connection is optional, pascal GPUs will still support PCIe (I read) but for mobos with the newer tech you should be able to connect it via NVlink (faster than PCIe) - whether that makes for two models with different connectors or a standard PCIe connection + the NVlink in addition, I don't know.
