Help! I have an ROG G20AJ gaming PC from Asus that comes with a GTX750, I just bought a Zotac GTX1070 FE and I'm not even sure if it'll fit, run, or have enough power to run in my rig. Would I need to buy an additional 230watt power supply for it to run? Assuming it fits and my motherboard can handle it(or bottleneck it)? Would upgrading the ram to 16gb also be a good idea?( and what type of ram would I need?) I called Asus and told me that opening my case would void my warranty so they didn't want to give me any advice. It would be very much appreciated on any help I could get with this. Here's a link to where I got the computer from, with more specifications if you need them. www.frys.com/product/8292376
Upgrading to GTX1070

Sorry to sound judgmental, but these are all questions that you should find the answers to BEFORE you buy a card.
According to ASUS, your pc can handle a GTX 780, which is the same size as the 1070 and actually requires more power. So theoretically, yes, the 1070 may work.
The system is upgradable to 16 GB RAM. It's DDR3. What I don't know is if it has extra slots for more ram, or if you'd have to pull the existing RAM out and replace them with 2 x 8 GB sticks. You'll just have to look at it.
There are a few problems with this 1070 idea, however. First, will the weird, dual power supply system handle it? Secondly, PC World reviewed your system and said ASUS doesn't recommend upgrades for a reason. Everything is crammed in there pretty tight (you'll even have to remove some cooling fans just to put in RAM. They said it's not easy to work on, so you or your helper had better know what you're doing.
Personally, I wouldn't risk putting a nice new 1070 in this system. If that power supply melts down, it may take the 1070 and everything else in there with it. And trust me, there's no returning or getting warranty work done on a burned out card.
