Graphics Card Compatibility

So I have a 4 year old Dell Inspiron 3000 series desktop, with an i5-4460k, 12gb of ram, 3.2Ghz, and a 300w ps. And im trying to upgrade it with a gtx 1650, 1050ti, I called dell technical support to see if it was compatible and they told me since the motherboard is 4 years old the only graphics card its compatible with is some old gt 650. Is he right? Or is my pc able to take a gtx 1050ti, 1650? If so will there be any significant bottlenecking to the cpu? Is there something wrong in the bios?

if it is not a small form factor case, you can throw any cheap GPU in there

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?
