You could use PCI-E X16 bus extender with the cover off and extra power supply on the desk.

No the card requires a bigger power supply that you cannot install. You need a low profile card that runs on your small psu as long as you don't have the micro version. Old Optiplex models are not good home computers. They were meant for business use. There are diff versions. The smallest sized micro model cannot even have a video card--no slot for it. Search for Optiplex 3060 Graphic card to see more info. See this--

Optiplex's are absolutely great home computers. And why wouldn't they? I bought commercial grade for a reason. It can also depend on what a person wants to do with it. While Optiplex's can be somewhat limited for gaming options, there's lots of YouTube Optiplex gaming videos. Quite possibly more so with the generation previous to the 3060.
