Would a 1650 fit inside a Dell optiplex 7050?
I had my optiplex for 2 years now, and I was going to upgrade it, but I had the option to upgrade to a 1650, so, would it work?
(Also I am going to upgrade the cpu from an i7-7700 to an i7-7700K,and ading a 970pro and 16GB ram from hyperx furry)

7050 MT stock psu is 240W. You may need to upgrade stock psu to aftermarket 24 pin ATX psu and use a moddiy 24pin to 6 pin adapter to meet power need of gtx1650.
gtx1650 general recommended psu is 300W. On line psu calculator estimates you need 300W for 7700k+gtx1650, or 276W for 7700+gtx1650.
i7-7700k is unlocked but 7050 bios is most likely restrictive of user overclock of cpu. The advantage of 7700k over 7700 in optiplex is higher base frequency of 4.2 GHz over 3.6 GHz. Operating frequency will be 4.5 over 4.2 given Intel turbo boost.
7700k has a much higher TDP of 91W than 65W of 7700. You almost certainly need to upgrade stock heatsink to a higher performance one in order to keep temperature down.

Actually you can just upgrade to genuine Dell 360W psu for 7050.
