Possible Graphics Card for Dell Inspiron 3030
I saw this on sale at Amazon https://www.amazon.com/MSI-RTX-3050-VENTUS-2X/dp/B0CTK1SFVD/ref=pd_ci_mcx_mh_mcx_views_0_title?pd_rd_w=vtxsW&content-id=amzn1.sym.bb21fc54-1dd8-448e-92bb-2ddce187f4ac%3Aamzn1.symc.40e6a10e-cbc4-4fa5-81e3-4435ff64d03b&pf_rd_p=bb21fc54-1dd8-448e-92bb-2ddce187f4ac&pf_rd_r=G30H5PW83R4QW0J5X9CW&pd_rd_wg=2YT40&pd_rd_r=40f0532e-3aca-4499-a2d7-84ccc92a6f42&pd_rd_i=B0CTK1SFVD. Would this work on my Dell Inspiron 3030?

If you have the 300W or 460W power supply option, it should work. If you have the base model with the 180W PS, that will need to be upgraded.

What GPU would you recommend if I decided not to upgrade my power supply?

There's a discussion below, but keep to a card that is under 75W total -- and that doesn't need its own power connector, which the 180W PSU in that system doesn't have.
