Optiplex 7000 Tower GPU options

What GPU options are available for Optiplex 7000 Tower? i7 12700 has UHD 770, only other option looks like $850 Nvidia 3070. Where is Nvidia 1660 ti, T1000, or A2000 option?

 

Can we get a 7000 Tower with i7 12700, 16GB DDR5, 512 GB class 35, 260 watt psu and add T1000 or 1660 ti? Precision with 500 watt psu and T100 is about $700 more.

Dell does not include older model oem gpu with this very new model of optiplex in standard configuration, for a few reasons mostly for marketing (new Dell gpu for new PC).  you can try chat with Dell sales to include an older Dell gpu.  You can give them this Dell gpu model number (gpu for XPS 8940).

basic online psu calculator estimates you need a 500w psu for i7-12700 and GTX 1660Ti.

Load Wattage:429 W
Recommended PSU Wattage:479 W

260w psu is too weak.  I suggest you get the highest 500w power rating of proprietary psu in 7000.  It is more expensive to upgrade psu later.  it is also much harder to find these psu as spare part from Dell, and often exorbitantly expensive from third-party.  get it from the get -go is better.

The following table lists the power rating specifications of OptiPlex 7000 Tower.
