So I just got my hands on a dell 7010 optiplex with an i5 3470 and wanted to know what could i pair with it for 1080p gaming? Any advice or insight would be helpful

Ummm.... Is there enough room for a dual slot low profile GTX 1650 super?

I could use some help with this!

RX 580 would be my choice right now since that card is a few generations old at this point so you'll get a pretty good deal. But if you can wait, I would be interested to see what happens with the 3050 and 3060 tier cards from Nvidia.

If he's using the minitower variant yes. If it's the SFF, guess it's time to break out the dremel and leave the side panel off. Or it's riser time.

Simple way to know if it'll fit a regular sized GPU, does it look exactly like this thing?
