What graphics cards will i have the best time with for a Dell Optiplex 755 SSF?

Before you answer; yes i understand that I'm asking a question that almost allways leads to low profile cards like the XFX Radeion 5450, but that doesn't work with a dell case, especially with the low brackets. When you plug the card in, it slots into the very right, where there are no other available slots for the VGA, which will only go to the right of it, not the left.

Alongside with this: How risky is this seeing as i only have a 275 watt PSU. Thanks!

Not very many cards that will run off of a 275W supply. How much are you wanting to spend?

Plenty of cards that will fit in there.

The PSU included will be garbage, likely overrated as a selling point. At your budget, go for an R7 250.

Well i've checked the case of the PSU it's self and found out, it's refurbished too. If a GPU did kill the PC would warranty save me?

I revised my answer per your budget. You would have to consult your manufacturer regarding warrantee. They don't sell that model any more.

No R7-250 in the price range that is low-profile.

That GT730 should work just fine. I don't imagine we are shooting for absolute performance here.

GTX 750 or 750Ti are way out of the budget.

Thanks for your answers guys, but unfortunately dell has doomed me. All those cards will have the VGA move to the opposite of the next available entry slot for the VGA cable to stick out in. Thanks for all your answers, will look into getting a different Mobo altogether.

You might consider an entire new build. Currently that entire rig is outdated.

Not entirely sure what you mean. For most low-profile solution you will lose VGA completely. Simple DVI to VGA adapters solve the issue, or you can use the other connectors directly with the proper cable type if the monitor supports them.

If this is the machine, that will place the video connectors in the first slot closest to the motherboard I/O.

Bad example since they are using a multi-head splitter card, but it would look like this:

I think a 750Ti could fit but it would be pushing it. Go with a GT 720 or something.
