Hello, last week I got a new PC called the Dell OptiPlex 755 and ever since I brought it I have regretted it. When I open OBS Studio it pops up with a message that says "Failed to initialize video. Your GPU may not be supported, or your graphics divers may need to be updated." I been having trouble finding out which one is effected OBS not to work, but I'm pretty sure its the GPU now. Please suggest your GPU if your OBS Studio works.

Based on the description there (which is terrible btw) your system is simply way too old.
OBS has a HARD requirement for Directx 10.1 or OpenGL 3.2 support in the video card.
