Make sure your BIOS is compatible. There are EUFI (newer) and Legacy (older), and your video card BIOS must match. Some cards have a dual BIOS siwtch or jumper. Some brands support one type more than the other. It looks to me like you shoud be OK. It's the BTX Dells that cards don't fit in. But measure first.

Is it this model?

A 500 W PSU is recommended for a GTX 970. The PC in the link has only a 300 W unit.

You should be able to swap it out for a new PSU without any problems.

As for will it fit, as you know the dimensions of the card then just have a look inside the case and measure the available space.

You have a PCIe X16 slot - so in that respect - there's no issue at least.
