I have an Intel 2 Duo E6550, 8GB DDR2, and the CPU graphics. I want to get a GTX 750 Ti, but everyone keeps telling me it won't fit. Could someone tell me if there's a way to make it fit, and if not, another graphics card? I've heard I need to get the Galaxy GTX 750 Ti, but I cannot find one ANYWHERE. Could I get some help please?

That computer has extremely limited space so unfortunately, what you have heard is correct. The best card you can fit in that case is a gt 740. Its not the fastest card out there, but it will handle modern games on low/med settings with good fps. Also, i would recommend upgrading to a core 2 duo e8400. There will be a pretty big difference in gaming.

Agree with the graphics card. But according to the Dell Technical Specs for the 755, it doesn't support the E8400 CPU. It will take dual core chips up to the E6850, and for best performance will also take the Q6600 or Q6700 quad core CPUs.

This happens to be the highest performance video card you can put in any of the Optiplex 745/755 systems.

The GTX 750 Ti comes comes with a low profile bracket for the DVI and HDMI ports. The card pulls 65 watts under load.

I have put a core 2 duo e8400 in optiplex 755 SFF myself. Lots of other people have done this too. With a BIOS update it works great.
