Is it the minitower or desktop version?

Regardless, you have a weak PSU so the only thing I believe is going to work for you is a 750Ti.

Once you say which version of the system I can tell if you have to have a low profile video card.

Welcome to the forums.

You are going to need to open the case and check a couple things.

1. Look at the sticker on the power supply and see if it is 20A or more on the +12 volt rail. I do not think this will be an issue.

2. Make certain your mainboard has the PCIe graphics slot in this link http://www.ascendtech.us/dell-optiplex-755-motherboard-dr845_i_mb4deloptdr845.aspx

If both of those check out, a good match would be GT740 2GB DDR5 low profile

The 2GB of system ram is another issue. I am guessing there will be 2x1GB sticks when you open the case and check. If so, look for 2x2GB DDR2, or if it is 1 2GB stick, buy one more. It will make a difference since 2GB is bare bones as it gets with win10 64bit.

Edit: If you are really strapped for cash, just get the GT 610 2GB $29.99 And skip the ram upgrade. It should still be a nice boost over whatever you have in there now.

Might be better to just save up a few more $$$, and get a new (or refurbished/used) system, instead of trying to get slightly higher performance from the current one.

I would say even a cheap APU is better than what he has.

2GB memory, very weak CPU.. you're severely CPU bound for LOL even if you get a new GPU.

You need a new rig sad to say.

A cheap gaming PC with AMD A8 or A10 APU will play those games great.

If you want to spend more, then you can get a much higher performance rig but it will be overkill for the games you listed.

I don't recommend a garbage card because you are basically throwing your money away buying one. You could spend $125 on a GTX 750Ti. Then go to ebay and spend $20 or so for 2x2gb ddr2 plus about $35 for a Q6600 and have a nice little upgrade for your system for under $200.

Even a 750Ti is overkill for that cpu. Something like a GTX 750 or a HD7750/7770 equivalent would be more than enough.

Excellent suggestion right here. Do this.
