Does my motherboard have enough PCI slots for the GTX 970? Is it compatible?

[riggadahigga]

I was thinking about upgrading my GTX 760 to a GTX 970 lately because I'd like to be able to handle all these next gen games at very high or ultra settings, such as the Witcher 3 or Arkham Knight. I'm not very familiar with how certain hardware parts may fit into a case or motherboard, So I read up on it a bit and found that most of them fit using PCI slots or something, and even that a 970 can work with a PCI gen 2.0.

So what I want to know is:

-Will this work with my motherboard & fit in my case
-If so, since it will be my first time changing a big piece of hardware, should I have a professional do it or do you think It's easy enough


Here's my Motherboard:

Case:

And the GPU I would like:

Just in case, I have an i7 4770 and 16 gb ram

thanks

An example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RBX7llutF8
The case: "This chassis will fit a video card that is no longer than 263mm(10.4"). http://www.thermaltake.com/products-model_support.aspx?id=c_00001616
Card's length: 10.9
The card would not fit the case.
An option: http://www.amazon.com/NVIDIA-GeForce-DisplayPort-PCI-Express-ZT-90101-10P/dp/B00NTBG132/ref=sr_1_11?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1431357263&sr=1-11&keywords=gtx+970+10%27 or similar.

What power supply using?

Hey, thanks for replying. Right now I'm using a Corsair CX750M.
When I saw that the GPU wouldn't fit I went looking for more and came across this:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NNXVPS2/ref=asc_df_B00NNXVPS23675983?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&tag=iceleadscom-20&linkCode=df0&creative=395093&creativeASIN=B00NNXVPS2&ascsubtag=s1430799882032w82la52378

it's a gtx 970 by zotac and it seems to be smaller.
Will this work?

Yes, it should work (8'').
