so should i cut the bracket on the evga gtx750ti that I already own, buy the zotac one and cut that bracket, or buy the msi card which is single slot already? all 3 have a perfect 5 star rating on newegg.
Cards that have only vents on the side and are not longer than 8.5 inches work fine. The Zotac card works as do others based on the physical design. The card that you linked I believe the heatsink as well as the fan shroud are too long so it wont go in.
Hello, I did not buy the MSI gtx750 ti card. However, i read all the reviews and Q&A section for that card on newegg, and there are at least two reviews that confirm this card FITS in the dell optiplex 760 and 755. Both reviews praised its performance in the optiplex 755, but one review said there were complications with the bios after installing it into the 760. I'm very hesitant to purchase this card until I'm sure it will be compatible. It does fit, though, and if compatible it would most definitely be the most powerful option.
So the only way I was able to get the 750 in my 7040 in the pcie-16x slot was to remove the plastic molding and fan, however it did hear up very quickly and so I had to move it to the pcie-4x slot above it and have not seen a performance drop. The GDDR5 even in a 4x slot is quicker than my 340x which had 2gb DDR3.
I ordered and Installed the MSI GTX 750 Ti 2GB GDDR5 single pci slot card from newegg. It fits, and it works fine. So far I've only tested a few light games, but I'm getting 60fps on the highest settings possible for Unreal Tournament 2004 and Castle Crashers.
The system doesn't seem stressed at all, yet. I actually only have a 255w PSU, and there's even an extra HDD I have setup from another pc. I just recieved a CPU (E8400) I purchased from starmicroinc.net for only $10. I will update after I install it. I probably should have got the E8600 for $25, though.

R series cards have an issue where they do not support DOS VESA MODE 103 so you can never get into F2 CMOS Setup again.
Sapphire support says tough luck you must have UEFI bios for this card.
The one that I got to fit was ASUS GT740
7.05 " x 4.37 " x 1.34 " Inch

This card will fit after you cut the bracket in half with Tin Snips.

these are the dimensions for the evga, which would fit if it weren't for the dual bracket.

Hi I was wondering if you got the MSI card to fit. I just ordered it after the Gigabyte 750ti didn't fit in my 7040 SFF

Please let me know if there are any issues, since you ordered the msi card.
