You can use either the 1060 mini or the 1060 regular model in the OptiPlex 7040, as it supports both. Upgrading your PC is a great idea if it’s not performing well.

It comes with a 315W power source, which suggests it likely doesn’t need the 1060’s PCIe cables. The mini component also needs a 6-pin connector. You’ll want to verify if it supports PCIe power cables. A 315W output can be intimidating for running a non-low-profile GPU, since these cards typically draw only 75W from their PCIe slot.

If you require a 6-pin power connector, it won't work.
