XPS 8300, GPU upgrade, #10

Question

I have a stock xps8300 and would like to upgrade the gpu. i will upgrade psu if i have to but would rather not. i am going to be using it for gaming(minecraft/farmingsim/ets2/snowrunner) and would like to play on medium/high settings. budget is $100 if possible but will do more if needed. what should i get? been looking at gtx750 but wasnt sure if it was compatible and/or good.

GT1030 up to 1050TI is your price range. Larger power supply that wont fry everything will be $80 to $150.

Power wise its not working and its not likely to easily fit because its 12 inches long dual slot 300w card. 2 Slot Full length 300W CARD NEEDS 700w OR LARGER POWER SUPPLY
