I have a Dell OptiPlex 3050 MT. it has i3 7100 processor, Intel B250 Express motherboard, 4GB RAM, 500 GB HDD. It’s a Mini tower so my GTX 1070 SC is not fitting and for the GPU I also need bigger PSU. So will the motherboard fit in a Mid Tower Case? And which one should I choose? Lastly how much power supply will be best for me?
 
Sadly I believe that is a proprietary motherboard. It doesn't appear to conform to the ATX standard in either screw hole position or power supply compatibility.

*Edit -- I might be wrong on the screw hole position, the Dell photos look like a match for ATX, but the power is proprietary. There are adapters out there that will let you run a standard power supply. moddiy.com carries most of them as well as ebay and amazon (but less reliability there)

You can pick up a new motherboard, but that also means a new Windows license.

I suggest selling the entire computer as is and buying yourself an i3-8100 or i5-8400 / Ryzen 5 based parts.

To confirm, open the computer and take a picture. See if you can get all the mounting screws in the photo. Occasionally there are regional differences between Dell computers.
