Will the GTX 1070 work with my computer?

[mangahaul]

I was wondering if the 1070 graphics card is compatible with my Acer ATC-710-UR53. Any help is appreciated 😀 thanks!

should work fine , just make sure you get one that will fit the case . take the side panal off and see how much room you have or if you can remove a HDD bay.

Your Motherboard does have a PCI-E x16 slot so would be able to take the card. The cause for concern is the 300 Watt Power supply that you have in there though, you might need to get a higher wattage one to make sure your build is stable.

Motherboard wise you are completely fine.
Assuming CPU is an i5 or better and you have 8gb of ram or better you are fine in that department.

Power Supply will for absolutely certain not support a 1070. You will need at bare minimum 450w (500w prefered) quality power supply. I cant stress "quality" enough, going cheap and buying a $30 PSU will leave you with a fried GPU, motherboard and possibly more. Seasonic and XFX are good choices all around; EVGA, Rosewill, Corsair has some good and some blah units.

The other problem you may run into is airflow. OEM (Acer, Dell, HP, etc) office Desktops are not designed with gaming in mind and thus they have top mounted PSUs and not enough fans to provide the kind of cooling high power gaming needs. I would add/change fans in the PC to as big of ones that the case allows. You may eventually need to just to transplant the parts into a gaming computer case (might actually be the same cost as trying to get a bunch of high airflow fans).

For future reference it is more cost effective and better platform to build a gaming PC then buy an OEM pc and then try to turn it into a gaming PC.

Sorry but it will not work with stock PSU. It comes with only 300W PSU which is not sufficient. Get a better one $50

Get this PSU

Power Supply: SeaSonic S12II 620W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($49.99 @ B&H)

There is 520W version available at same price but go for 620W as it will be comparatively less stressed and will not cause any trouble for longer period of time.
