Optiplex 745 SFF Graphics Card?
I have a dell optiplex 745 small form (not the really small one) and was wandering what is the best graphics card it can hold? Thanks.

Firstly check the casing and find out what size it is.
Second you need to consult your motherboard and find out what's compatible.
The case looks like a Mid ATX case so it should hold the majority of video cards providing it is a standard ATX tower layout inside.

I think it requires low profile graphics cards, would the hd 6450 work in this?
Have you checked the motherboard? I'm not doing the research for you (okay I will). That card requires a PCI-express slot. But it's an old system. You could probably do some up to date stuff on it but I wouldn't hold my breath, especially with the video card you specified. Full specs here www.dell.com/downloads/global/…
It's probably a good idea to consult someone on Tom's Hardware. They'll be infinitely more knowledgable on the subject.

Doesn't this pc have one low profile PCI-E slot (from what I can see anyway)?
I guess. It should probably be enough to run that card. What is the policy on returning opened PC hardware anyway?
Thanks for the help, I know what to do now 
Hmm not sure TBH... I think my current power supply should be ok for this card so that's good.
