New to Computer Building... Wondering if I can get a NVIDIA GT 730 with current Set Up

[jcpruett98]

Looking for help to see if anyone knows if a Dell Optiplex 755 can run a GT 730

My Specs:
Motherboard: Dell 0PU052
CPU: Intel core duo e4500
PSU: Dell h275p-01
Current GPU: Intel Q35 Express Chipset Family
RAM: 4 GB DDR2
Storage: Hitachi 1 TB

Thanks!

I can't quite tell from your description which case size you have. The minitower will fit most GPUs. The Desktop and Small Form Factor will fit a low profile GPU. The Ultra Small Form Factor won't fit a GPU.
I really wouldn't recommend the GT 730 unless you can get it at a steep discount. It's a very weak card. In my opinion, it isn't worth the upgrade.

I've got the small form factor version. I found one that's pretty cheap so Im thinking of getting it. Nothing too powerful I know but its still a decent step up from the stock shit one lol

You know your budget. If it were me, I would save my money and buy a used system with a GPU. There are some pretty cheap first and second gen i5/i7 systems floating around that would be a big upgrade.

The VGA slot in the optiplex only supports 1-slot card, if the card you're going to buy is 1-slot then chances are it will be fine.

The rest depends on the available space you have there, the GT 730 cards on the market vary on length and heatsink size, if there is nothing near your PCI-e slot large enough to obstruct the card then you'll be okay.
