Looking for an Optiplex Desktop for my Dual-Fan GPU.

Question

Hello, I'm Renz and I'm new in this forum! I'd just like to ask if anyone knows an Optiplex Desktop that would be compatible with my EVGA GTX 1050 Ti 4GB SSC Dual-Fan. I'm thinking of buying the Optiplex 9020 SFF or MT and I'm willing to purchase a new PSU (I heard OEM PSU's are **bleep**). This would also be my first PC so any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Hi Renz,

As my experience to this i would suggest you must pick a Tower Chassis due to some cases,

if you are planning to upgrade your system Hardware,
Tower chassis is customizable depending on the person
it has a large body that would suffice dual fan Video card but didn't know if it can fit a 3 fan video card.

BTW what kind of GPU are we talking about?

Actually, I'll just buy an Optiplex 7010 MT instead. But I heard that the GTX 1050Ti SSC 4GB Dual-Fan would block the SATA ports. After searching for the solution online, I saw that you can use low-profile SATA cables instead of those vertical ones.

As for my video card, I bought it on eBay for only $125 CAD ($95 USD). I'm about to get it on Thursday and hopefully it isn't a scam. I can easily get my money back though since the transaction was PayPal. Anyway, do you think the GTX 1050Ti SSC would fit and work with the Optiplex 7010 MT?
