GPUs that would fit in and not bottleneck Dell Optiplex 790?

[DrQuickDroqqed]

I'm currently looking to buy a gpu for my dell Optiplex 790. I'm not sure which ones would fit dimensions wise but I have a few that I am looking at rn. I also want to know if they would bottleneck my cpu, which is an i5-2400 4 core 3.1ghz, 3.4ghz turbo. Below I have attached as well as the dell optiplex 790 I am going to purchase as well as the 2 gpus I am looking to buy. If anyone can help me out I'd really appreciate it.

Did you check that that model has standard PC PSU connectors?

How would you do that?

Looking at it. I looked it up, and they did. So, you're fine.

 

I ask because a lot of Dell systems use a single 8 pin connector in to the motherboard (sometimes joined by an 4 pin PCI-E) and use the motherboard to distribute power to SATA and Molex devices.

Something like the i5-2400 will bottleneck this year's triple A games, something like a RX 580 or a GTX 1650 would be more than enough .

If I use an older gpu like a gtx 760 I can still run games like overwatch and rocket league with ease correct?

Tysm both gpus would work without bottleneck correct?

Your CPU will always be the bottleneck, I would get the 580 for sure though.

Your wasting time and money buying a new psu just to slot in a used GTX 760 when the gt 1030 has near the same performance and would not require the PSU swap at all. As for the RX 580, your CPU is probably going to bottleneck that in some (but not all) applications.

If I use a gpu that does not require a new power supply, I can go for a higher performance(higher pricepoint) gpu. are there any that don't require a new psu but provide better performance?

GTX 1050ti is the best card to my knowledge that can run off the pcie slot without external power from the PSU

Ok thank you so much man. You might have saved me some $$.

I currently have a dell optiplex 790. i have a i5 2500 3.3 ghz cpu. A gtx 760 gpu An evga 600 br psu 12 gigs of ram and 1-1/2 terabyte on my hard drives. I did have to swap out the power source due to the graphics card being eight pin and stock power supply only being a four pin. But i am currently running games like stranded deep at its highest setting at around 33fps .... (Although im pretty sure i didnt set up the comp to its best optimization due to me not knowing how). 

Dang this thing looks exactly like what I might build. What model of gtx 760 do you have?
