From what I know about the Optiplex, they use proprietary/non-standard power supplies. I am also not sure whether they have the standard pcie slot for the gpu.

Here is a video I found on disassembling it. Hope it Helps.

the ones OP linked are just using standard ATX PSUs, an upgrade to a cheap corsair CX should work.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Heatsink: Gelid Phantom Black GPU: Palit RTX 3060 Ti Dual RAM: Corsair DDR4 2x8GB 3000Mhz mobo: Asus X570-P case: Fractal Design Define C PSU: Superflower Leadex Gold 650W

Hi guys I have decided to upgrade PSU and I was wondering if the rx480 4gb would be bottlenecked by the i5 4950
