This is my case: https://www.inwin-style.com/en/gaming-chassis/GT1

And this is the card I want: ASUS STRIX-GTX1070-O8G-Gaming Nvidia Geforce GTX 1070 Graphics Card - Black https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01GRCYTMY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_kWUvybSW336SA

The thing is I'm worried about it fitting, the length is fine, but the height and width are worrying. The WiFi card is really close to my current gtx 960 with only about a centimeter apart. And will the width take into account just the card or the metal part with the ports on it as well?
Can the WiFi card be moved up to this slot if I have any trouble?

Thanks in advance

Shouldn't be necessary, but what motherboard do you have?

The card height is going to fit in any standard ATX case. If your current GTX960 fits, your new GTX1070 will fit. As for the width of the card, that's pretty much standardized as well. The cooling shroud of the card will cover the expansion slot directly below the PCI-Ex16 slot the card will be installed into, but it should not have any effect on any card installation below that.

I have a z97-p mobo. Have you looked at the picture I put in the question? Because if necessary I could easily move the WiFi card up to that slot if need be.

Also if the measurements of the width take into account the metal bit (on the left of the card

) then I would be fine, but if it doesn't then I'm sure im screwed

You only linked two sites; your case and your graphics card. Either way, you're going to be fine. Assuming your WiFi card is a PCI-Ex1 card, you could install it without issue in either PCI-Ex1 slot. Personally, I'd move it to the top slot.
