GPU for Dell optiplex 7010 MT

Question

I currently have a Dell Optiplex 7010 MT with an i5 3570, and was wondering what GPU I can put in it. I tried an MSI Armor RX 580, and it was too big. Looking for a GPU under 100 dollars and small. What GPU do I get?

For less than $100 USD, you can get something like a used GeForce GTX 1650 on big auction site.  It's a 75w slot powered card and be supported with current Dell OEM power supply.

If OP had tried RX580 it is possible the psu has been upgraded to higher power that has 6 pin connectors required by RX580.  For $100 or less you could also try GTX1070 or GTX980.  While they are older model series than GTX1650, they are more powerful and faster cards.   To be on the safe side the maximum GPU length you can use on OptiPlex 7010 tower is between 9.5 and 10.0 inches.

What PSU is in the 7010, by any chance is it the stock 275w PSU?
