I hope I posted this the right place, and provided relevant information.
This computer is barely handling GTA V, which is a game that I plan on playing a lot, and I also want to get The Witcher 3 sometime. So I want to upgrade it, and I want to buy the GTX 970. The problem is, I don't know much about the process of upgrading, so I don't know what I need to do to my pc for it to be able to run the GTX 970.
So I would appreciate it if someone could explain what other stuff I need to do before getting the GTX 970 (Any suggestions for another graphics card is welcome. I have 2 monitors, one of which is 144 hertz).
I have a few pictures of the insides here:

And also some pictures of what CPU-Z tells me:

I hope this is sufficient information, otherwise, let me know what you need and I will provide it.
Also, it seems that Speccy is a more detailed program. Is there a preferred way of sharing what this program shows? There are a few times where all the info isn't shown, but I hope these screenshots are good enough:

I will buy the Asus 24" LED VG248QE monitor along with the G502 Proteus Core mouse in just a few days, so the peripheral information is a little bit incorrect.
There's also an issue with graphics cards versions. I noticed that there are different versions of each graphics card. I've read that the EVGA version of GTX 970 is the best. Is this true?
In advance, thanks a lot for your help.
