Will the MSI GTX 1070 GAMING X be compatible with my PC? If not, any other 1070 cards?

Hi. For a while now, I've been looking for the perfect GTX 1070, upgrading from a Gigabyte 960. It would be incredibly helpful if I could have to get some advice, as I'm worried that I'll accidently buy a 1070 that isn't compatible with my motherboard. Here is my build:

CPU: Intel Core i5-6500 CPU @ 3.20Ghz
RAM: 24GB
MOTHERBOARD: GA-H170-HD3 DDR3
PSU: 450W (Yes, I'm going to upgrade to 600W before I install the card)
Case: X-Warrior Devil Red mid-tower case

The card I'm focusing on purchasing is the MSI GTX 1070 GAMING X, so if you could state if my motherboard is compatible, that would be awesome. If it doesn't, is it compatible with any others? Thank you.

Should be fine. MSI Gaming X is a great card. But I would also suggest looking into the Zotac AMP! Extreme. It's a little bit more but also a little faster and a little better cooling, but it is massive so you would need to get a brace for it. It's arguably the best 1070 you can get.
