Help with Super budget build

(Prices in aud btw)

I am trying to make a super budget pc build for my mate using a dell optiplex 9020 for $340 as a start but don't have much knowledge i ended up snapping up a gtx 760 4gb phantom for $80 but i realised the system does not seem to have enough room to fit the card and it seems the card using 6 pin connectors and the computer doesn't have it? I do know i will be having to buy a new psu im thinking a 550 watt thermaltake psu for $55 that does say it has 2 6 pin ports within it's cords, not really quite sure about this just need to clear up really if i can still somehow manage to use this oversized gpu with 6pin conection in a sff case

So this is the 9020 Microtower?  SFF?

If its the Microtower, this has hole patterns for a standard ATX PSU, however a standard ATX 20/24 pin power line will not feed to this motherboard.  I don't have THIS motherboard etc but from the picture I glanced at online looks like you need a Z220/Z230 workstation ATX 24pin to 6 pin PSU adapter.  That will allow your new ATX PSU to power the system motherboard, as it does not have a 20, or 25pin power receptacle.

Depending, however, on the model of PSU IN the system you have a couple options.  If its the Lite On brand, its platinum rated - at this point which one do you have and what wattage?  If its sufficient in wattage than you can take ONE FROM EACH line of the sata power cables coming out of your motherboard and use a 2x SATA to 6 pin (pulling power from two independent SATA power lines).  I only suggest this if its 400w - the 320w Lite On (have it) can do an i5 3470 and a GTX 1060 and some peripherals at 100% load no problem, but the GTX 760 pulls a lot more power.

 

Also, from the pics...why not mod the case and remove the HDD cage so it can fit?

Thanks for the help, modding the hard drive cage to make room for the gpu and getting that 24 pin to 6 seems to be the way to go. Thanks for guiding me through my first build

Can get a 5.25 bay SSD/HDD mount for drives, or use the 3.5" slot that's hanging wide open in the pic if its avail - if you are using an SSD it can technically lay there it has no moving parts.  Id still screw it in somewhere.

 

These things have passive intake, which is fine for no power draw GPU (I run a HD 7750 daily in mine as its all I need for the HTPC) but you will want to add an intake fan at the bottom if it can fit once you have the GPU in.
