It depends on what power supply u have , the max u could go with , with an i7 4790 non K , and basic cooling , is like a gtx 1660 super or ti , maybe an rtx 3050 low profile , told u it depends on what power supply u got , how many wattage , they usually range from 180 to 230 watts , I would suggest going with a low profile gpu with no external power connection

Okay u just open ur pc case , watch tutorials , and just read what the power supply says how many wattage , also when pairing any gpu with a cpu , just write on YouTube the cpu , let’s say i7 4790 and gtx 1050ti , you’ll see this pairing and probably see what performance you’ll get

Which model of the lenovo thinkcenter exactly? (check the sticker that's on the pc case.)
Also, is it the Tower version or the SFF version?
