I have a MSI 970A-G43 motherboard (yes I know its not very good). I have been using it for 2 years. Currently I have a Radeon R9 280x installed with a amd FX 6300 processor. Pretty cheapo, but I can run BF4 at almost 60 fps. Anyway, Im looking for an upgrade. The 1070 seems like a great choice because its cheap and is a really good card. Im also thinking of replacing my processor (Intel Core i5-4590 maybe?). I just dont know if I can put a 1070 into my mobo. It literally says radeon graphics on the front.....

No, you will need to buy a motherboard if you intend to buy an Intel CPU.

Yes, you could use a GTX 1070 in your current board with your current CPU, but you would be bottle necked severely at stock clocks.

Depending on your current power supply, you may have to a buy few components to support your new setup if you intend to upgrade everything.
