Dell PSUs use proprietary connectors, so you would have to buy an adapter to install an off the shelf PSU into it. Also the mounting holes are not standard for that from factor so you would have to place the PSU outside of the case unfortunately, other than that it would work.
My recommendation is to just look into a LP graphics card instead, something that doesn't need a separate power connector.

I have the gpu so I want to throw that in this, I can keep the psu in the outside. is there any yt tutorial similar this?

There are some build guides about upgrading Optiplex systems for gaming, even if the year model is different the basic idea stays the same.

ok, i have to check then

Adapters for mobo power can be found on amazon
Not much else to it
You also mentioned the fan, I will assume you meant the air cooler and I have to say that I can't recall if this model was one of those dumb setups where the cooler is mounted directly into the case instead of a backplate.
If that's the case, your only option is to just replace the crappy thermalpaste with something fresh and keep using the stock cooling solution.

@fast verge do you have any video how to use the adapter safely? I am thinking using corsair Powersupply
or if you have any cheap psu alternative in 50-100 usd which is safe in amazon
and is it going to be safe using 24 pin to 8 pin?

I... What does this even mean? Like... Don't spill water on it? And adapter is just plug and play thing, I don't understand why you would need a whole video for that.

sorry for making a lot of these text and send these one by one.

Like 600-700W.
It's a bit overkill yes, but you would always want there to be at least some headroom.

Don't cheap out
Get something that's actually a good PSU
If you're on a budget, your go 2 should be something like Seasonic B12
