I was wondering what’s the best possible card I could put in my machine, I was thinking a GTX 1650 and a GT 1030 (both low profile of course) I’m not sure if these will work.
I almost couldn't believe my eyes. I checked the 755 Tech Guide and you have a 275w PSU. Either one of those cards will work, so will the GTX 1050 ti.
So consider your CPU and potential bottleneck. Your CPU isn't listed in your first post, so here's an example of how to check: In the Google search bar, "Q9650 GTX1650 bottleneck," Q9650 being an example of a CPU. Bottleneck would be 68.17%. That's some serious bottleneck. Anything below 10% is good. PC-Builds The GT 1030 and GTX 1050 ti are probably better bets.
If you don't have it already, Q9650 is the top CPU for the 755.
As you’ve said the GTX 1650 has a 60% bottleneck with the highest possible CPU, what GPU would you recommend that doesn’t have such a high bottleneck percentage?
I just reviewed a video in which the HDD cage had to be removed for something like a GTX 1050 ti to fit.
I can't guarantee it, but it's short, single bracket, and might fit: GTX 750 ti eBay
Bottleneck with E8400 = 11.94%. 2.71% with the Q9650 according to PC-builds.
YouTube List of your chassis type running the GTX 750 ti.
This generation of Optiplex's - 7010, 7020, 9010, & 9020 MT versions does give you more options. Not only a little more leeway with GPU's, but PSU's are also upgradeable further expanding the possibilities.

GTX 750Ti and Q9650 will work great together. 750ti is a 60w card that needs 300W psu.
GTX 650Ti boost works well w Q9650 too, but it requires a 6 pin power connector and 400W psu.
In contrast to: Your processor is too weak for this graphic card.
Intel Core2 Quad Q9650 (Clock speed at 100%) with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650(Clock speed at 100%) x1 will produce 68.17% of bottleneck. Everything over 10% is considered as bottleneck.
for SFF this could work too, but hdd cage has to be removed and hdd/ssd installed in 3.5” drive bay underneath odd. but if hdd cage fan is disconnected from motherboard it will likely incur a bios startup error “failed hard drive fan.”
1050 would be significantly bottlenecked by Q9650.

Intel Core2 Quad Q9650 (Clock speed at 100%) with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050(Clock speed at 100%) x1 will produce 19.96% of bottleneck. Everything over 10% is considered as bottleneck.
