XPS 8930, upgrade to ASUS ROG STRIX RTX 3070

Question

Hello im looking for a GPU upgrade on my Dell XPS 8930.

I was Looking for an Asus 5060 but it recently went out of stock,
I have a 750w PSU 16GB RAM and a GTX 1070 along with a I7 8700

the gpu im now looking for is an ASUS ROG STRIX RTX 3070 or any other 3070

I brought the pc to a specialist and he said he isnt sure if anything else would work -_-

Most will fit lenght and width but im not sure about the cleareance with the power supply?

Any tips?

Reading OP Q again and Chino reply below I now understand the Q is clearance.

here is a video showing ASUS RTX 3070 in 8930

that 3070 works. ASUS OC 8GB with two fans

Note the 8930 psu compartment has a triangular metal buttress that may impede a taller gpu, but in this video no issue with that.

Same Q apply to Aurora R7-12 as they all use same metal skeleton chassis as 8930

The power supply is located next to the graphics slot, not above it, see picture below. You should be okay with the upgrade. For some larger graphics cards, the graphics-card bracket has to be removed for proper fitment.
