Well the gtx 1050ti would be a good upgrade that wouldn't break the bank. What does it have for a psu and what is your budget?

What form factor is your Optiplex 780? If you aren't sure, which one of these computers does it look like? http://www.dell.com/au/business/p/optiplex-780/pd

On the sticker inside if I am looking at right stick it says max output 305 Anyways info I see is H 305p-02 is model # on sticker

OK. That would mean you have the Mini Tower APFC version (looking at your 305w PSU aswell). Your PSU's max combined 12v output should be 240w.

I couldn't find anywhere about any power limited slots, or PCIe connectors/MOLEX connectors, so I am led to believe the motherboard's PCIe x16 slot is not power limited (it can draw 75w) and no PCIe connectors / molex connectors to adapt from.

EDIT: With that PSU model provided, I can confirm there are no PCIe 6 pin connectors.

So probably the best you can get would be a GTX 1050ti that has a <= 75w TPD and does not need PCIe connectors.

I can`t thank you enough for your kindness and patience . it`s been an adventure to figure this out. The tower was given to me so I guess I can`t complain to much. Thanks again

Glad I could help. One last note: be considerate of your CPU's (I believe is the E8500) performance in game aswell, before upgrading the GPU.

Two more questions if you will be so kind then I`ll stop bugging you....lol....On the call of duty game itself recommends at least Geforce GTX 660 which is a old card now but with that card and what I got cpu gpu where do I stand if I could get hold of that particular card ? Leads me to 2nd question it says Directx11 on game and me having directx12 does that mean the card is not compatible ? Yeah stop laughing ....haha I am 58 and not real nerdy in this side of things .. Patience

Zotac makes a GTX1050Ti Mini which is a single slot card that will fit your BTX without mofification. Also a Zotac GTX1050 Mini.
Q9650 is max. CPU but Q9550 is popular also.
Dell T9303 heatsink is an upgrade also.
DirectX12 is backwards compatible.
