Will a GTX 1070 fit in my PC?

Solution
Will it fit: not likely.
Your Small Form Factor case does have 2 PCI slots to support a GPU but since this is a special case for ibuypower it is very difficult for us to get any info on maximum GPU depth.

On the very slim chance that the case supports a card as deep as teh 1070 you have another roadblock.

Your PSU is a SFF (small form factor) power supply, and you cant buy one of those with enough watts to support a 1070.

So you will need to get a new case and power supply before you can even think about getting a $400 GPU.

Also it appears that the CPUs that come in those cases where A8s and A10s.

So trying to run a 1070 on one of those is laughabile as an a10 (or any FM2 cpu) is gooing to crash and fall on its face WAY before it can push that 1070 to its max. You could spend half and gat a 1060 3gb and STILL have some bottleneck.

You could sell your current computer and buy a new one with i3 + 1060 and it would perform better than an a10 + 1070 and at least then you would have an upgrade path.
 
they make sff psu's now at 650w so easy to get one if needed :)

what you need to do is open the case and see what room is there and what psu you have. specs i am seeing show a gtx 760 came with it which is a 170w card. so it likely has a decent psu already. plus the reference card is 9.5 inches long or 241mm. there are 1070 models that are that short as well. somethign like a gigabyte mini OC http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5923#kf would be shorter than the card in there now and not use much more power. only a single 8-pin vs the 2 x 6-pins the 760 uses.

take a look at the psu and see what kind of power it has and if it has an 8-pin connection or just the 2 6-pins. you can combine the 6-pins to make a single 8-pin easy enough and many gpu's come with the adapters already. but see about the power of the psu, most importantly the 12v amps it has.

but it is true that the a10 cpu is not that great and will likely hold back a 1070 a good bit. a 1060 would be a better idea and they come in just as short "mini models" and use even less power. a single 6-pin powers the mini 1060 cards which for sure you can power as that is less than the card in it now
 


Did not know they had decent quality SFFs that went upt to 650w, thanks for the update.

If the OP is running the A10 like all the links I have found online then a 1070 is still hopelessly way to much card for that APU to handle though.
