A 780 Tower can take a Quad Core CPU
https://www.amazon.com/Optiplex-Q9650-3-0GHz-Certified-Reconditioned/dp/B01MS04I64
Dell OptiPlex 780 -
Intel® Core™ 2 Quad Q9650/3.00GHz, 12M, 1333FSB
That and a GTX 1050 TI Mini and you are fine.
I believe that the Performance Copper Heatsink is the same for Dimension E520 E521 Optiplex GX620 755 745, 380, 755, 760, 780 MT.
The cheap Aluminum version is HR004, J7109, FW209, W5685, W6177
HEATSINK D9729 SHROUD J9761 is the High end Copper part.
Overwatch has some high requirements

Start with something newer than that -- Overwatch needs an i3 minimum, meaning the Core 2 in the 780 isn't going to suit you.
Also make sure you get the tower system - not the smaller form factors.
