What gpu will fit it my Dell Optiplex 755 sff? I am looking at Gt 730 low profile and GTX 750 TI low profile, but the problem is the gtx 750 ti low profile dosen't look like it would fit and I would MUCH prefer it to the GT. On the other hand, the GT 730 would fit my budget nicely and from the pictures, looks like it would fit in the PCIe slot which is very close to the hard drive (Look at some images of the space inbetween, it is very small). The only drawback is that I wanna play BF1 on medium and GTA V on high, and I know the GTX 750 TI will accomplish these settings easily and the GT 730 can not simply match up to it. But in the end, i want a NVIDIA graphics card that can at least play these games at 30fps medium. I have seen Radeons go in well, but I am not as familiar with Radeon gpus as I am with their NVIDIA counterparts. If I am correct, these two gpus can power on low psus and Windows 10? If you're wondering, my CPU will be Intel Xeon X5450 3 GHZ Quad Core, 8GB Ram, PSU is 280W. Thanks for any help you can give me!

This GPU I'm about to list is your best chance: https://us.msi.com/Graphics-card/N750-Ti-2GD5TLP.html#hero-overview

Unfortunately NewEgg no longer stocks it as of very recently.

Ebay has a seller in California who sells refurbed models:

Here is a very important point: Even though the card is single slot, the cooler makes the GPU 1.5 slots in width. I don't know if it'll clear that hard drive in your case (ref picture). If you buy the card and it doesn't clear that hard drive then one option is to buy a PCIe adapter, to have it in the position of the non express PCI slot, plug the adapter into...

750ti Will fit it's really small card. I would go for 1050ti it's way better than 750ti similar price also super small card. I've googled your dell there is definetly more than enough space for these cards. My advice just get GTX 1050Ti and enjoy 60fps in medium settings instead of 30. Don't know where you live but 1050ti is around 130$

If you buy the card and it doesn't clear that hard drive then one option is to buy a PCIe adapter, to have it in the position of the non express PCI slot, plug the adapter into the PCIe slot, and run the ribbon cable one slot over to the card. The other choice (my preference) is to purchase either a SSD or laptop 2.5" hard drive, clone info from 3.5" HDD and create more space for the GPU. I'm guessing that the storage interface is only SATA 2 (3.0 GBps) therefore a SSD would only achieve half it's rated performance.

Addendum: I found the deprecated NewEgg customer reviews for this graphics card (below). It was not easy to locate, since the page is no longer indexed on NewEgg. I took the liberty of cropping out 3 reviews that are pertinent to your predicament. The text is smaller and harder to read. To compensate, hold CTRL and the + symbol on your keyboard. To decrease text size hold CTRL and the - [minus] symbol. To return text to standard size, simply hold CTRL and the 0 [zero] key. You could also just find the three reviews by loading the NewEgg page and searching "optiplex".

One other thing: Don't bother with the GT 730. The 750 Ti is worth the budget stretch.

i would make sure the psu has a 6pin connector as dell psu's tend to not. If it doesnt have one i would recommend a 750, 1050ti or rx 460.
You could also get a pcie riser and run the gpu outside the case, removing the size restrictions.
I currently use a optiplex 760 sff with a gtx 750
