It's an ATX layout so there shouldn't be a problem. Measure the length available inside the case, and check the spec. on the card your looking at. IMO there's no real reason for 2 fans on a 75W GPU. If it needs a 6 pin PCIe cable then you need a new PSU. Again I see no need for the 6 pin cable or the bigger PSU at that level. A single fan card will work just fine.
Here are some build of that system.

I'm doing the same thing with the Dell Optiplex 3010 which is practically identical to the 790 But 3rd generation CPU's. Anything as big as a 1070 can fit in these machines. All you'd really need to do now is put a slightly more powerful ATX PSU In it. I'm going to be putting the Corsair VS550 In mine but you can use the stock PSU As long as it's the 275W Version but a be cautious on it.

These Dell PSU's are very good quality. You don't need to get a new one but any other PSU That has a 300W TDP I'd get a new PSU To be safe but the stock Dell should be fine for the 1050ti.
