I'm currently running what I would categorize as a a mid to low end computer, and have a question.

My current rig is an MSI z97s krait edition motherboard, gtx950, i5 4460, and 8 gigs of ddr3 RAM, is running a gtx 1070 within my realm of possibility??? any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Absolutely. Your CPU is an i5 so should be fine for a GTX 1070. If you were going to upgrade anything I would maybe upgrade the RAM to 16GB but you don't need to do that.

Server: Dell PowerEdge R710 / Intel Xeon X5675 @ 3.06GHz / 128GB DDR3 RAM / Dual RAID 5 Arrays (3x 1TB + 3x 2TB) for 6TB of Storage

Broadband: Virgin Media Vivid 350 (385 Mbps Down / 20 Mbps Up)

agree maybe go for an 4790k in the future but its really not needed for a 1070
