Welcome. I wont to buy dell Optiplex 7010 with i5 3470 , 8gb DDR3 And upgrade this pc with some gtx 1050 ti. Whitch graphic will be the quietest and will fit to this pc? Graphic card must be quiet when I will watch movies or listen a music. I will remove 3,5" hard drive and replace this with 2,5" ssd.
Prebuilt Dell Optiplex 7010 And the quiet gtx 1050 ti

If you are using the slim SFF version, just pick up a 1050ti with no-spin mode. I think most of them it, at least it is advertised on the regular full sized models. You should email MSI and Zotac to confirm it.
When gaming, there's no way around it that the GPU is going to be very quiet with those fans. It seems Zotac has the best cooler for a 1050 ti low profile though.

I think about this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dell-Opti...781107?hash=item23821ccdb3:g:yU4AAOSwuxFY1OsO
Also, Gigabyte 1050ti mini seems to be the only one with 0rpm mode. MSI and Zotac mini both do not have it, neither does the offering from EVGA. Not sure of the other brands - there are larger models with it from all brands however.
Sometimes it is not advertise or was not part of the original feature. My EVGA 1060 at release did not come with the feature but was updated later to have it.
Of course, I have seen that happen a number of times. It was actually advertised with the EVGA 1050ti Mini from release, but everyone realized it just did not have it. Rather than add it (when folks on the EVGA forum realized it wasn't there) EVGA simply removed it from the product description.
Safer to go with one that is confirmed to have it rather than buy and hope to have it added later, or flash with another BIOS. Either way, its a gamble.
Agreed. No way to get anything in there that isn't LP - and those little fans kick up quite the dB. Good luck OP!
Ha, so easy to get off track here - always.

I remember @robbee modding its LP 1050 Ti by replacing the original fans by two 80mm fans :

By the look of the Dell case, you would have to remove the PSU first, just to fit the GPU (which will be dual slot).
Then you would have enough room for two 80/92mm fans blowing on the GPU.
How to power such a proprietary board without the original PSU, that I do not know !
