I got myself a Optiflex 780 and I am wondering does it fit a GTX 1050ti windforce 4gb? It has 2 fans so I must know if it fits. And if not can a regular gtx 1050 fit?

You will want a single fan version, without a 6 pin PCIe connector. Measure the length fron the cooler housing to the back of the case. you need one smaller than that. If it has 2 slot bracket you will need to modify it. The 2nd slot goes away from the other slots. Buy a card with no connectors on the second slot. remove the bracket and make sure the card works ok. Then cut the bracket in 1/2 length wise. re install the bracket. Put the other piece in the slot behind the video card to let hot air out. If the card has an enslosed cover like most ITX cards you will need to cut the side of the cover back 1/2" to let air go out the rear vent. Open fans are OK. if you get High GPU temps. you will need an PCI slot blower to remove air from...

You shouldn't have a problem with it. Just be sure to make sure you have nothing plugged into the on board video slot as that board is designed ti disable the PCIe slot if anything is plugged into the onboard output. The 1050ti is very low power usage also, so that should be a pretty good fit.

The only caveat being that I think you need a low profile card, so you will have to find a low profile 1050ti. That might be tough as all the ones I have seen take up two slots. So make sure you have two slots available for the ports to stuck through.
