I am looking to buy a Dell Optiplex 790 sff with Intel core i5-2400 3.10GHz, 8GB Ram and 500GB Hard drive so I'm wondering if a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 2GB can be installed and fit inside because of it being a sff computer thank you in advanced for you help?.

Yes, all the low profile cards that I bough came with dual brackets. You will have to remove the tall bracket (with the VGA port) and install the low profile one.
First of all, the 2GB versions of this card come with slower DDR3 memory. Get the 1GB versions, they come with the faster DDR5 memory. You won't use more than 1GB on that card.
Also I would look into something that has a fan, those ones without a fan tend to drop the card frequency when stressed in a game. The fanless ones are great for media centers though (because the CUDA cores are not used that much).

Example of 1GB DDR5 GT730 with fan:

The GT740 has DDR5 memory and 2GB plus higher cores frequency...

It looks like it has enough room though what about a GTX 660 2GB

The GT740 has DDR5 memory and 2GB plus higher cores frequency (otherwise has the same number of cores). See this one:
