Hi,
You have a GTX 650 inside, which supports PCI express 3.0 just like GTX 1070, so you should not have any problems upgrading 650 to 1070, but you also check if your case is big enough to fit a new graphics card and if your PSU will have enough wattage to power this new beast.
Everything should work, but your FX8300 will be a HUGE bottleneck to the system. I wouldn't recommend a gtx 1070 for your current system, but you said are are going to change the other components a bit later too. If you get a decent core i5 your system will be a total beast!
