Maybe. Read this thread. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/210472-28-replace-dell-optiplex-gx620-305w
It depends on exactly which case and PSU your system has. If you open the case and post a photo of the PSU and the motherboard, we can answer with more certainty.

It's not about the 24 pin, it's about the size and shape of the PSU. Some PSUs in the SFF cases are non-standard sizes and shapes. Can you tell us EXACTLY what your model number is.

but why? are you upgrading other parts that require more power than the current PSU can provide? or are you just bored and throwing money where it doesn't belong?

I need to be certain.. Do you mean Desktop, as in GX620 DT, or do you mean desktop, which also includes GX620 MT?
Thanks for excluding the SFF desktops.
Do you know what your CPU is?

Is this what it looks like? https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Dell+Optiplex+GX620+Power+Supply+Replacement/30653
A standard ATX supply will fit.
However, as was mentioned above, indirectly, what GPU are you thinking of fitting to this computer?

if you have a ruler AND know how to use it, you can simply measure the space and compare it against any modern ATX power supply and see if it can fit. nearly all of the connectors are standardized (24pin, 4/8pin, sata, molex, etc) so it really is just you and a ruler.

ko888 :
The Dell OptiPlex GX620 DT uses a custom form factor power supply unit:
Not all of them. When the Pentiums came out they changed, I think.

OP. There is a totally different solution. The card you have selected, and a new PSU plus all the hassle cost a decent amount.
If you get a GTX750ti that will fit in your system and does not require additional PCI-e power feeds, it will work well off your existing 305W PSU; plug-and-play.

Agreed. GTX750ti, or start again fresh.
Something like this. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127836

750 ti with a riser cable to allow mounting the card anywhere it damn well fits. riser cables are like five bucks on ebay

From the sound of the OP this would be more than they want to do and there will be a challenge with the I/O mounting.
