So i just got my gtx 750 ti for Dell Optiplex 990 Small form factor core i5 2400.
BUT.
1-The card fits in the slots but the case could not be closed.
2-Power Supply is 240w Dell which could not changed.
So i installed the card , played few games and put it back in the box as i dont want to take the risk.
Q1-Can my dell d6h9t Mini ITX motherboard be installed in a normal case where my dual slot card fits and a 400w power supply could be installed.
As INNO3d recommends 400w for warranty claims.
Which case do you prefer?

Buy a Corsair 300R. Will solve all of your needs, for a low price, and better yet is often on sale on Newegg. Then buy a 650W Seasonic or XFX PSU.

650w? well my gpu runs even on 240w but for warranty claims and safety i think 400w is way more then enough , but thanks for the case . i appreciate it.

I usually recommend way above the need wattage, but if you are going to go 400W, do a very good PSU (Sesonic or XFX), as it will have to do 70%-80% output all of the time. That case is great, a friend of mine has one. Amazing ventilation for a case of that price. A total of seven 120-140mm fan blowholes is a lot.

Yeah. Micro ATX boards are designed to fit all ATX cases just fine! You will get the benefit of having less room consumed by a motherboard.
