Hi guys, i want to upgrade my old pc. I have i7 3770 and 24 GB RAM but gpu is very bad (RADEON HD 7770 2GB)? My question is if i should get normal sized 1060 or itx. I am not sure how much space for gpu does the caae have, does somebody know please ?
Thanks

Open your case and measure the distance between the back of the case till the first obstacle. You will know where to measure, looking where the GPU that you have, already is. That is your GPU clearance.

If you have the original PSU you should 100% buy a new one BEFORE the upgrade to ANY GPU.
Choose anything from tier 2 (tier 1 is overkill for your system) from here:

It's an ATX layout. you should be able to put just about anything in there. But measure for length. You can run a GTX1050Ti 4GB, or GTX1050 2GB without buying a PSU.
Some of them need a 6pin PSU cable which you probably don't have, just as many don't. The 75W GPU doesn't need 2 fans so a short card can work just fine. For the 1060 you will need a new PSU.
Here is the GPU Hierarchy chart. It's up to you whether it's worth buying the GTX1060 + PSU or just get the GTX1050 and call it a day.
