Is the GeForce GTX 1080 compatible with my system?

[Mikeburdge]

Hello as you can tell by the title i am looking to upgrade my pc but i don't know whether i will be able to. I have the HP ENVY 700-060ea Desktop PC unchanged except for the graphics card but that's what i am trying to upgrade so it shouldn't matter. if you google HP ENVY 700-060ea you will find more or less the right information but if not here are the specs:
Motherboard: MS-7826 (Kaili)
Processor: Intel Core i7 4770
Memory: 16 GB
Video Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 (192-bit)
Computer Case: Tower
Height: 41.1 cm (16.2 inches) unpacked
Width: 17.2 cm (6.8 inches) unpacked
Length: 42.4 cm (16.7 inches) unpacked
Weight: 9.79 kg (21.61 lbs) - without packaging

If you need more information please tell me and could you also tell me how to get that information. I am not new to a computer but I am new to the inside of a computer please keep that in mind. Thank you

measure the distance between the HDD cage and the back panel it should be 11 inches or 28 cm to fit the card, other than that the card should work fine on your PC

Hmm well, can you tell us what the Amp rating is on the 12v rails of the PSU, it should be on a sticker? Even if it is high enough I would still replace the PSU as HP use crap quality PSU's and the last thing you want is it dying on you and killing the GPU or rest of the PC

also check the amount of ampere on the 12v rail. you can most likely find it on the side of your power supply unit. not sure how much a gtx 1080 needs but if you have the default 430w psu you're most likely not gonna cut it

The 12v rail on these is usually about 1/2 that of what the PSU claims to be

I forgot about that, that is true the 1080 needs 600W+

Firstly thank you all for helping me secondly here are some pictures of my computer sorry about the dust i am pretty sure the Graphics card will fit but i might be wrong(because i don't really know how to put it in). Also on the sticker thats on the PSU it says TOTAL 460W MAX but it also says 415W in other places so i will just look for a better PSU any recommendations would be very helpful. i do not know what the AMP rating is but i hope it is on the sticker which is also among the pictures i have put here.

Could you please recommend me a PSU that would work with the GTX 1080. Thank you
i know Ak74Egy said it had to be 600+ but i wanted to know properly just incase i get the wrong one
