Do you already have that card or are you buying it? I would not get that card for the system. For that age CPU an nVidia 750Ti should work in the mini tower version without needing to swap out the power supply.

Looking at eBay, there's a lot of NVIDIA 750 TI's up for sale or bid.😀

I agree with hang-the-9 that the 750 Ti is a lot better than the GT 730, in fact that card won't be much of an improvement over the Optiplex 990 built in graphics. Just need a monitor with Displayport (for digital signal), or a displayport to HDMI adaptor (such as the Club3D model sold on Amazon). VGA is OK for checking email, but not that great for watching videos.

Good Luck!👍
