Hi

I recently picked up an Optiplex 745 SFF from work and am using it as a home pc. I am looking at installing a graphics card (none installed at present) and am looking for some guidance on what cards would be suitable (mostly for watching films and some video editing). I know that I'm restricted to a low profile card, but I'm not sure what my options are in relation to the power supply. I understand the installed power supply is 275W. To further complicate things I would be hoping to spend less than €100.

Any help would be appreciated.

I've the same box as you and had the same problem - few slimline cards available and low power supply in the Dell. I ended up going for an ASUS 4450 and it made a huge difference for gaming. It wasn't easy to get tho - there doesn't seem to be too many out there!
