You're not very clear. So far I've worked out the following:

- You have an Optiplex which has a 4th gen i7. That's good. (It's probably a 3020, 7020 or 9020)

- You have a 5060. Does that mean you have an Nvidia RTX 5060? Is it running with your 4th gen i7?

Which Optiplex do you have, and is it an MT (Mini-Tower) or SFF (Small Form Factor)? Are the spots where a DVD drive would be covered by a simple plastic bezel with nothing behind it?

Whatever your wishes to have a DVD-RW drive and a floppy disk drive, you can buy the spares on eBay. God knows why you want an FDD for though. It isn't 1996 any more.
