I'd have to see the exact cards in question, but they are both a bit much for the 240W PSU to handle safely over a long time period. And if you were going to chance using that high wattage a card on that PSU, the GTX 1050 Ti would be safer and faster. But, like the above, still not recommended unless you do so at your own risk.

"300W" is a bit of a relative term. Total wattage doesn't mean much for gfx cards. It is all about the +12V rail that matters. And finding a replacement 300W PSU to fit that Optiplex SFF is darn near impossible. If you have one in mind, please link me to it. I could use one for my Optiplex 790 SFF ;)
