Would a GTX 1060 fit into my Rig?

I was planning on buying a whole new custom build based around the new GTX 1060. But my bank balance is aggressively telling me NO.
So plan B was to purchase the GPU alone and try to fit it into my current build....

Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
MSI H81M-P33 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Kingston 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Zotac GeForce GTX 960 2GB Video Card
CiT Vantage ATX Mid Tower Case
Corsair VS 450W ATX Power Supply

Point to note. I know little to nothing about building PC's. I would more than likely purchase the new GPU and take it to my local PC repair shop for fitting.

My question is will the GTX 1060 fit nicely into this build or will I have to buy more than just a new GPU?

Cheers

yes it will fit nice , but dont use both cards , remove the old GTX 960 , and make sure the 1060 you are buying will fit inside your case ... some cards are big and some are smaller

Sounds like im good to go, thanks for the quick replys.
On a side note, if I were to find abit of extra cash, what part of this rig would you think needs upgrading after a new GPU?
