I was curious if a Dell Optiplex 990 would work with my 750 Ti sc card. Im aware it's mainly an office pc, but I was wondering if I could turn this into a gaming rig due to it's decent specifications. The version I'm looking it has a fairly large case as well as an i5-quad core with 8 gigs of ram. Will the video card fit into the case and will the power supply be sufficient enough for this card? Also, in general, could this work fairly well for running modern games?

Solution
The Dell Optiplex 990 MT should have a 265W PSU with a +12v rail rated for 240W. Please verify*. If so, the GTX 750 Ti, GTX 1050, GTX 1050 Ti all will be fine.

* If you don't yet have the machine to verify wattage, I'll still say yes because it has 2 x +12v rails rated for 17A and 9A. Plenty.
