Will the MSI gtx 1050 2GB GT LP fit in the Dell 3020 Small Form Factor? I want to buy this computer, but I'm afraid there is not enough space for the graphics card.

Looks like it. Two slots, and the card extends just a few centimeters beyond the PCIe slot. It might get a bit loud though as the fan will be very close to the PSU.

I would also worry about the power supply being able to handle the 1050. That system only has a 290w psu. The recommended specs for the 1050 is 300w. Now, I think it will work, but the big question is for how long and if it fails will it take out everything? Just something to think about.

The SFF version has a 255W PSU. The GPU tops out at 75W.

I just remembered some of these small systems have a limieted PCIe slot, limited to 50W. I don't know if that is the case with this one though. It might be a HP thing.

I do also remember that 50W limit, but I believe it's only common with HP SFF machines, just like @Frick said. Is a GT 1030 an option? It does fit and consume less power.
