With the new all singing all dancing cards you might be limited by the power supply, so you may need to know what wattage it s capable of pumping out.
Ain't no use suggesting a whizz bang 3090Ti Super flash card if you only got 450W for the whole system.
Size might be an issue too, a lot of newer cards can come in double or triple thickness

Its a hideous great box so size wise it should be okay. I'd expect it to have a decent PS as it was specced up to suit my needs, but they messed up on the GPU.

Looks like this is going in, but they are just checking spec on my PC first. Dunno why I couldn't just have kept my iMac as I never had any of these problems with that!

I'd go for one that would have been a cost option direct from Dell rather than any old card.

Apparently, they are, as we get good educational discounts. Or I might just get my Mac back! I included the youtube link below in my reply!

I used to work for a Dell Gold Partner who sold mainly to the education sector. The discounts are ok.
Now Microsoft, they practically give stuff away to Education, License this evelenty two core server... sure £12.50.
