Hello, 

I've been thinking about upgrading my GTX 1070 to RTX 3060 Ti.

I was wondering if it is even worth upgrading cause I would need to get a new PSU as well as a new card. 

Would this PSU work?

I am also not very sure about card's sizes. 

GTX is being held by a metal bracket. Can i safely remove it to fit a longer card or does it have to stay there?

@Blackoutt , welcome to the Community.

 

Here is a HP Knowledge Base article that will explain what you have to consider when upgrading your video card.  Your computer is compatible with the 3060 Ti, you simply have to make certain the it will fit with plenty of space for good airflow.

 

I believe that the PSU in your link should be fine.  I suggest measuring the current PSU and comparing those measurements to it.  I would imagine there is some extra space.

 

Is it worth the upgrades?  This is strictly your decision, but it would increase system performance considerably if you can find one that will fit.
