Inspiron 3020 PSU and GPU upgrade?

Hey y'all. I am new to the world of PCs and I have the Inspiron 3020 with the 180w PSU. I was wondering if I upgrade the PSU to a 550w, could I also upgrade from the integrated graphics card to a gtx3050?

Specifically, I want to get the Corsair cx550w to be able to have the Geforce RTX 3050 8gb. 

Thoughts?

Thanks!

3020 uses proprietary motherboard pinout not compatible with standard psu. It can only use Dell oem psu up to 500w such as TPX56.
