Measure distance between back of pc case and drive cage.
If distance is below 279mm, then it will fit.

Is it ok if I measured from the bracket (where u screw the Card) to the Drive bay. Because there I have 30 CM of headroom (but with the IDE cable around 27 but I can cable tie it and move it)

See the image above.

Ide cable - is that for optical drive? Are you even using it?

And do you think that If the IDE cable is the issue do I just get a longer IDE cable? I unfortunately need these DVD drives to read old data and to install certain drivers and features

I have just seen it, I did the same thing😎. I have 30 cm of headroom

You should be able to route IDE cable around graphics card.

Well I will see about that if not then I am gonna move it to the right side

Does the GTX 970 work on Legacy CSM BIOSes, and does it support P35-DS3 rev 2.1 board. I want to know that!

PCIe 1.0 is a bit slower than the GTX 970 would normally be plugged into. Theoretically, it should work.

900 series is fairly safe when it comes to BIOS only systems. I wouldn't go beyond it, certainly.

It is actually up to the card manufacturer what they loaded the vBIOS with. 10 series is where they started excluding legacy BIOS support. Though many of the lower end 1050/1060 cards still supported it.

Great, I have this GTX 970. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/asus-strix-gtx-970-directcu-ii-oc.b3049

Well you're right, after the 900 series it is better to stop lol. And this 970 is enough too, good for just using Windows 7, and just playing basic games
