a GTX 1050 /1050 ti /RX 560/ RX 460 would be a good option.

I have a RX 460 and its a great 720p 60/ 1080p 30 card. I have no issues with it.

What do you plan on using it for?

It's not going to play any newer AAA games.

The CPU will severely bottleneck any remotely new graphics card, if they would even work due to the motherboard limitations.

That system is very old.

You would need older graphics cards like the Radeon HD 5000 or 6000 series cards.

That system is WAAAY too old for any of those graphics cards.

Would take the older Radeon HD 5000 series, 6000 series.

GeForce GTX 680 or GTX 780.

I see these running Q9650 and GTX 1050Ti which both score 40% of systems tested. Zotac Mini GTX1050Ti is full height single slot card if you need that.
Avoid Radeon R9-3xx (285) and newer. They won't display the dell BIOS screen.
