Will a gtx 1650 work/fit on a 3046 tower?
OptiPlex 3046 Tower
title kind of says it all, I'm trying to upgrade my optiplex. I currently have a gt 730 and it is really bad for just about doing anything and I found out that the gtx 1650 does not need external power, but I don't know if it fits into the case. If it does not work please suggest some cards that would.

multiple users had validated GTX 1650 in 3046

note that the 240 w stock psu for 3046 MT is borderline for GTX 1650
try not to use mechanical hdd or dvd to save power.
Load Wattage:249 W
Recommended PSU Wattage:299 W

Here's some cards that'll work with 240w PSU:
Quadro's P400, 600, & 1000
Edited from PC Parts Bin:
Direct X 12 GPU's for modern rendering:
GT 1030 GDDR5
RX 550
RX 6400 Beats GT 1030. Can play games like Fortnite and Minecraft.
Direct X GPU's for previous decade rendering:
AMD R7 200 series (previous and branded from the ATI HD series graphics cards) Important - Check wattages and PSU requirements.
GT 710, 720, & 730
55w GTX 750

yes that is good. no dvd saves power.
Load Wattage:214 W
Recommended PSU Wattage:264 W
load wattage reflects every day real world scenario. 240w psu is good.
