Just purchased a Dell Optiplex 790 DT but am now worried about its capabilities. Am I right that I'll need to upgrade the video card pretty much immediately? I'm not interested in upgrading the power supply right now or otherwise putting a ton of money into a computer I got for less than $100.

Bottom line, I just need a card powerful enough to play Lego Marvel Superheroes 2 with my nephew.

GT 1030, it's a small card so it will physically fit in the case. It uses very little power and so works with just about any power supply and Dell motherboard. And last but not least, it's not a bad gaming card for esports and similarly lesser demanding games. It should do well on that Lego game.

edit: To clarify, this is not knowing what CPU you have or what resolution you'd run the game in. I'm assuming you're flexible in this, knowing that with a budget build you need to be flexible. You need a low profile card as well, and the 1030 comes in this form factor.
