I have been looking for days at various threads recommending the HD7750 for a SFF optiplex 790 but the one by VTX on amazon has been discontinued.
So my question is: can/should I but the following low profile version of the GTX 750 by GALAXY/KFA2.
I have a 240Watt dell PSU with 17.0Amps on the +12volt rail and 0.8Amp on the -12v rail. I am aware the Mboard is restricted to about 25watt on this dell and given that the card requires no extra power connector can I assume it will draw all the power from the board? and, assuming that, can I assume that nothing will explode or (more likely) burn out?
As for the dimensions, it will be very, very tight and I think in fact the fan casing will be 1mm from the PSU - is this dangerous for the fan/PSU? should I remove the fan (of course voiding warranty) or just not buy the card.
Here is the link; I live in the UK.

Finally, can I actually get away with buying this card or would I be wasting my money?
Damn near 21 years old and I'm like a child at christmas, although to be fair this card is a 9 on GameDebate and along with my 9 CPU should make for a nice gaming machine, the size of a large lunchbox.
Thoughts please, especially vis a vis whether the PSU will be enough and whether it will be enough if I unplug the DVD drive on the dell and/or underclock/volt the card.
Regards,
Tony.
