The geforce gtx 950 2gb
But can it run in the dell optipllx 380

Yes i know it has 1x6pin and hat is no prob since i have tested serveral psus and worked

Ps: ill do nothing whit amd or intel
Only nvidia since i trust its quality

Pss: sorry for the many spelling errors and mistypes its becouse my phones keyboard is nothing but useless

Your issue is unfortunately going to be the CPU.

Skyrim mods such as texture mods are going to require as much VRAM as you can afford. GTA IV also have very nice textures too.

I'd be buying this if I were you, and upgrading the CPU soon: Zotac - GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Mini Video Card (€152.99 @ Amazon Deutschland)

Otherwise, if this is all you can afford, and you can't upgrade soon: Zotac - GeForce GTX 1050 2GB Mini Video Card (€114.99 @ Amazon Deutschland)

You'll just need to settle for lower settings.

Do check around for some sites you'll buy at for these cards, as not retailers and pricing is listed that might be available to you.

You'll hit a pretty hard bottleneck in some games with your current setup, but nothing less than this is worth your money;

Video Card: Zotac - GeForce GTX 1050 2GB Mini Video Card ($119.99 @ B&H)

If you plan on upgrading the rest of your PC at some point in the next 6 - 12 months, go for this instead:

Video Card: Gigabyte - GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Video Card ($163.98 @ Newegg)

Let me know your location or which retailers you'll use if you're unable to purchase anything listed.
