Aurora R6 GPU upgrade advice

My current build:

Alienware Aurora R6 base

Intel i5-7400 @3.00GHz

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050Ti with 4GB GDDR5

16GB DDR4 2400MHz

 

I was thinking about upgrading to a gtx 1070 and would like to know which one would have the best performance and be priced under $400 and that would be compatible with the Aurora R6 OR give me a recommendation for a GPU that's better while being under that price. Any help would be appreciated cause I'm still very new to this stuff!

I have the (pre-installed) Dell OEM Nvidia GTX-1070 in my Aurora-R6.

It works great, but FYI ... I have the (pre-installed) Dell OEM 850-watt modular Power-Supply.

If you want "easy install" ... I suggest a "normal height" video card. It should look similar to a:
- GTX-1070 Founders-Edition (a "back-blower" Reference-Design card)
- MSI GTX-1070 Aero

So the MSI Aero would work?

Yes, because the "Dell OEM Nvidia GTX-1070" appears to be a clone of the "MSI Aero Nvidia GTX-1070".
