hey guys

ever since they announced the new nividia cards i have been curious on how to find out if the card is compatible with the mobo. i have been doing research for a few hours and i am still a bit lost. is the pci port the most important factor? i understand that the new card will perform better with 3.0 than 2 is that how you see if its compatible?

from what little i understand am i right in assuming that a 1070 will be compatible with my asus Z87 A?

addition details. i have a corsair cx750m psu and Fractal Design Define R4 PC Case (https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/fractal-design-case-fdcadefr4bl)

thanks in advance for any help,
