Will 750ti work in optiplex 780 with upgraded CPU of core 2 quad 950?
A few years ago i bought a crap computer just so id have something. We had recently moved to the country and i was an avid gamer that had a hand-picked dream rig that i loved. Unfortunately, there was only satellite intetnet available where we moved, so no more shooters which was my genre of choice. Im old school, my 2 favorite games were thinktanks and battlefield heroes. Still have flashbacks and dreams about both games. Guess i played too much. I dabbled alot with photoshop and got good at making gifs, skins, and avatars. I spent way too much time on that thing, but i loved it. After a couple years with super slow internet with 3 second lag, it just started collecting dust. I decided to sell my baby. It had a 120 gig ssd in it for the os and a few games from when the drives were still new and expensive, my old hdd i kept for storage, (has my whole kids life and most of my adulthood on it) i also had a very old xp drive in it with more old stuff. The windows 7 drive had no problem accessing it, but i woke up one morning and windows 10 was on my boot drive and i could no longer access the very old xp drive. I was pissed.
i dont temember every detail about my baby, but it had a coolermaster silencio case, a 700 watt psu, a gigabyte mb, 8 gigs of fancy ram, an amd bulldozer 4.5 cpu, and an msi razr gpu but i dont remember model. I was planning on upgrading to a 2nd gpu soon. I made it as future proof as i could. Paid 1200 and sold it 4 yrs later for 350. The worst irony is we moved back to the city 6 months later, and now i hear they have cable at my old house now. God i wish i didnt sell that rig.
But back to the point. I bought a dell optiplex 780 sff for like $20 a couple years ago. Now im hearing theyre popular to upgrade. So im doing it up. Have a core 2 quad 940, 16 gigs ram, a sata to usb converter coming so hopefully i can access old xp drive, and a gt 730 gpu coming that was dirt cheap. All was super cheap. I did some reading recently and saw that a gtx750ti is a great gpu for the money. It just hard to find one to fit a sff case. Pretty sure it only runs on pci slot, so not really worried about a psu.
I guess my question after all this rambling is there any compatibility issues with my cpu (core 2 quad 940) or any other reasons i shouldnt buy this gpu? Seems to preform great vs similar gpus for much cheaper. Might have to tinker around to get it to fit, but im not worried a out that. Any other suggestions for gpus in similar price range?
