gtx 750ti or rx 560 might be a good option.

They are ancient cards nowadays with very little power for anything remotely modern

I'd open it up and have a look at what space and connectors you have, a 1060 requires external power.

 

1050 should not. With the 1650 and 1050 Ti, some do and some don't. Same story with the RX 560.

 

Also important to confirm if your case is the tower or not as thin PCs might need a low profile card, or in the worst case might not even have a PCI-E slot.

I've looked on the Dell website and its 300-350w, but doesn't mention what connectors it has unfortunately

some 1050TIs don't need power connectors, but only specific models, the only question is if the extra 75W is too much or not
