Dell's specs for the OPTIPLEX 790 SFF's PCIex16 Slot states that it only handles a maximum of 35 Watts. That's substantially lower than the PCI Express standard spec of 75 Watts.

The SFF computer case limits you to low profile graphics cards only. The 240W PSU appears to be borderline adequate for a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti.

If you don't care about exceeding Dell's PCIe power limit for the slot:

There are four different models of the Dell OptiPlex 790. In the following image, starting from the left, USFF (Ultra Small Form Factor), SFF (Small Form Factor), MT (Mini Tower) and finally DT (Desktop). Your "Dell OptiPlex 790 DT SFF" description doesn't match any of the models that were made.

The Intel Core i5-2400 processor was available in the MT, DT and SFF models.

You will still run into the motherboard PCIe x16 Slot power limit of 35 Watts on the MT, DT and SFF models since it is Dell's own proprietary design.

The graphics card and power supply, in your parts list, will only fit into the MT model with no guarantee of it working.

These OptiPlex 790's were never meant for use as a gaming computer. They have too many limitations that make them only suitable for office use.
