Hello everyone, sorry if I ask some silly questions as I have a lack of knowledge about computers.

I've recently been planning to upgrade my PC and I'm very unsure whether the graphics card will fit as I've watched several videos and the card looks quite big. My major issues are:

-Whether my power supply is good enough.
-Whether the graphics card will fit.
-Where to plug it in as my power supply has ports labelled 'Drivers' and other different labelled ports.

Here are some pictures to show the inside of my PC. The ram is quite close and I didn't know if the GTX 1070 would be to big for the area. I also took a picture of some blue USB ports and was wondering if I'd need to do anything with these if the new graphics card fit or could I just plug in straight in to the power.

Specs:
8GB Ram
AMD A10-6800K APU with Radeon HD Graphics (4 CPUs), -4.1ghz Processor
AMD Radeon HD 6670 Graphics Processor (5872 MB)
Motherboard Product: F2A85XM-D3H

Tell me if anymore information is required. I probably will have asked some very idiotic questions in this thread and I do apologize, I am young and have near to no real knowledge on PC building...Thanks for reading

Hmmm, thank you so much, Ill definitely look into this

 
RAM needs to be DDR4 in order to work.
Your PSU should do just fine, even if it might not be of the greatest quality.
