well a OEM founders version 1070 fits ... i upgraded to one myself from the 970 gtx in my X51 R3 .. the issue is it need to exhaust heat out the back not inside the case as these cards run hot, and they need to meet the size restriction of the case.. ... as for your current being a 680... idk maybe a 670 or 660.. but thats besides the point :O haha
anyway if the card you get dosent fit moving to another case isnt really an option since the power supply connection are dell only so a standard psu WILL NOT work with the motherboard so would require a new motherboard, video and windows OS to swap to a new case as cpu, ram and hdd's will swap over no problem..
otherwise its well documented around the web and on these forums that even a 1080 can be done..
