I am a total noob with upgrading graphic card here, so I will require assistance. My computer is a prebuild Acer Predator G3-605, and I am looking to upgrade my graphics card to GIgabyte GTX 1080 G1 Gaming. I am however unsure if it is compatible with my computer specifically the motherboard, as I have heard issues concerning upgrading of the card on an OEM pre-build PC. It'll be great if someone can take a look for me. Also, it'll be great if someone could recommend some (smaller) alternatives as I have a feeling that it'll be too big (physical size) for my PC.

Here are my PC specs

Windows 10 Home 64bits
BIOS: P11-B3
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.4GHz
8 GB RAM

Its using a 500W PSU. But should I change the PSU too just to be on the safer side?

I am also told to take note of the bus interface and the OS version too.

Thanks in advance
