You should be able to fit most graphics cards in there.

The power supply is under 300 watts though. 290 I believe. Will that not limit the graphics card I can insert?

Yes, it'll limit it. Your best option would be either a GTX 1050 Ti or a GTX 1060 3GB.

How much do you want to spend, what games do you want to play and at what settings/ frame rate. Your computer should be able to support most low powered gpus that dont use more than a 6 pin connector but if you want to play some higher quality games, it might be worth it to spend a little extra on a better power supply to have a better gpu.

For now, just fornite is fine. I want to be playing it at high setting at 60fps. Currently I barely even get 60fps on low.

If your at 1080p then 1kv's suggestions are both fine for fortnite. You shouldn't have issues with power delivery for now. One thing to consider though is that most SI's, including dell, tend to cheap out on their power supplies and get slightly unreliable/inefficient ones so you may get occasional stutter depending on how lucky you got with your power supply but other than that it should be fine.
