If you want to buy a brand new GPU, GT 1030 is probably the best choice at the moment, as most other cards at the moment are extremely inflated in price.
GT 1030 is still a good performer for the price (about equal to a GTX 750 Ti), doesn't use much power, runs cool and is very quiet - or completely silent - so it's a very good choice anyhow.
Hope that helps :)

Is it OptiPlex 990 Mini-Tower or SFF?
If Mini-Tower, I think there are likely 50 or so different ones that will fit.
Do you have a x16 PCIe slot for video card?
Is this system Legacy-BIOS or UEFI ?
What do you like ... AMD or Nvidia?
How much room do you see in there, length-wise?
Would a double-slot card fit?
What are you going to be doing ... video-work, 3D-modeling, or gaming? Why are you upgrading the video card?
