Hi i'm planning to upgrade my dell optiplex 780 sff to the max but when i search for the best gpu everyone says the gtx 750 ti low profile is the best but the problem is that i would have to move the hard drive and things around to fit it in, so i was wondering whats the best gpu for the dell optiplex 780 sff that doesn't require me to move other parts around in the PC to fit it in

It sounds like you need not only a low profile card, but maybe a shorter than usual low profile card. A GT 1030 would be my suggestion. You can get them in really small form factors and they only use about 30W of power. This is critical in a SFF since it's not uncommon that in those computers the motherboard slot doesn't put out a full 75W.

Specs say the card can be 6.6 inches long, I don't know if that's right though.

Look for Low Profile cards (LP), then. Make sure they don't require an additional PCIe power cable as I doubt your PSU has one available.

GTX 750, 750Ti, 950, 1050 maybe?? GT 1030 is an option too.

Good luck!
