I am looking to upgrade my prebuilt Lenovo IdeaCentre 510A-15ABR. I want to see if a GTX 1060 6gb / GTX 1070 will be compatible with it. I'm not sure because I am using an AMD A12-9800 as my APU. Will it bottleneck/is it even compatible???

I doubt that Lenovo has a big enough power supply to run either card. I believe that either has the tiny 180W or 210W PSU. If so, you're looking at a GT 1030 as the best it can handle. And no, changing power supplies is not an option. That desktop PC was never designed to be a gaming machine.
