    Is the graphic amplifier compatible with this desktop pc? I currently have a 960 in my pc but looking to buy a 1070 or 1080. The current power supply wont let me upgrade to these cards.

    Yes, but it could be possible to upgrade to the GTX 1070 without the need of the GA. You may need to remove the front fan or replace it with a smaller one.
