The stock psu handled a 50watt card? I went with a 1030 instead.
Yeah I only felt comfortable trying it since that YouTube video mentioned not experiencing any issues with such a low power psu. They're testing lines up with what I would be attempting to do also.

Judging by the code, it's only valid for 7050s, not 5050s.

Try the machines on this page [dellrefurbished.com]. Seems to work there.
If the Dellrefurbished promo code is valid (and applicable) it will apply once you enter a USA zip code (or GB - not sure about Canada).
"7050DELL4U" worked in my cart (50% off) for an OptiPlex 5050 MFF (March 3, 07:30 EST) - even though it was not listed on the main Dell Refurbished Coupons & Deals [dellrefurbished.com] page.

I'm curious - where did OP find this particular promotion code?

Anyone interested in these should look on eBay for used Dell/HP because there are much better deals there. Been trying to sell a HP 800 elite G3 with a i7 and Nvme Samsung 980 512 with licensed 10 pro at $144 for weeks now. Also buying the sff and putting a 6400 init is questionable, that card is fairly week and still $140 used. A $100-150 tower/workstation (that has space a a larger factory psu) with whatever $100 card (like a 1660ti) would blow away the 6400.

If you're willing to spend a little more, you can get a 5060MT with i5-8600 [dellrefurbished.com], 256GB SSD and Windows 10 home for $200 after code YES2DELL5060. This one is officially supported by Windows 11. And it would probably make a decent entry-level gaming system with the addition of an appropriate video card. The SFF PCs aren't really suitable for gaming since there are few good half-height video cards.
Would I be able to add 10gb nics and make pfsense out of it ? Or is it too much ??

8th gen cpu is good if you want to do hardware transcoding. I believe 8th gen is required for Plex to do hdr tone mapping.
8th gen under the right conditions can handle hardware HDR tone-mapping. Basically if you use Windows for your Plex server, you're better off getting an NVIDIA GPU. Linux has a few more options.

Very enticing prices. I can't get past Dell with their proprietary motherboards and PSUs. They make it a gigantic pain or even impossible to upgrade to a better PSU so you can put a decent video card in these.
