Which 750Ti are we talking about here?

What wattage PSU do you have in your prebuilt? To add, how old is your prebuilt(if you didn't change the PSU in the prebuilt)? If it's the 180W unit in your prebuilt, forget about dropping a discrete GPU into said prebuilt.

You'd need one of the low-profile 750Ti models and would have to lose the VGA port to fit the low-profile bracket.

It also suggests a 300w PSU and you have a 180w. GT1030 would use less power but isn't as fast.

Looks like with the way the slots are arranged, you can only fit a card with dual-slot cooler into the x4 slot, and only a single-slot card will fit into the x16 unless you remove the PSU.

GT1030 are much easier to find in single-slot, and 30w (or 20w for DDR4 version) is much more likely to work with a 180w PSU than a 60w 750Ti

There are larger drop-in Flex ATX PSUs that would fit inside (such as the 300w from the Optiplex XE3) but then you still wouldn't be able to fit a dual-slot cooler card. There would be plenty of room for a cooler if you mount the PSU externally but if you had to do that, may as well get a standard ATX one.
