Adding a GPU to my Inspiron 3880, does it need to be low profile and does it go under my PSU wattage?
I'm attempting to upgrade my Inspiron 3880 as much as possible and I want to add a GPU. I've seen that the GT 1030 is an accepted GPU as per the PC's manual, however, I'm not sure if this will pull more wattage than my PC can handle. I've seen multiple sources saying adding a GT 1030 would be perfectly ok and adding a GT 1030 would not, so I just want to be 100% sure.
My specs are:
i5-10400
12gb DDR4 RAM
500gb SSD
1tb HDD
Intel UHD Graphics 630
200w Dell PSU
Also, if I were to add a GT 1030, would it need to be low profile or is a normal 1030 fine?

3880 is a mini tower. gpu can be either full height or low profile.
200w psu is borderline to handle GT1030 if you have both mechanical hdd and dvd installed. if there is no dvd, just ssd and hdd it will be fine
