Hi, I want to upgrade my GPU from the Radeon HD 6570 to an R9 270x or the 280 but I'm not sure if it can fit inside my case.

Here are myPC Specs
Model: aspire m3970
processor: intel i7 2600 3.4 ghz
gpu: radeon hd 6570 (4gb edition)
ram: 8gb (1330 mhz)
chipset: intel h67 express
Power supply: PS 6301 08A (300W)

I also need to upgrade my power supply and the one i want is EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX PS (or any 500w psu)but again I don't know if it can fit inside my case.

Thanks in advance!

...The gfx cards will fit OK and so will any standard ATX PSU. And yes, you will need to upgrade the PSU for those cards. But the PSU you mention is a bit light for the R9-280. I would go 600W for that card.
