Looks like the stock power supply is 300 W which will limit your choice of video cards, unless you want to upgrade the PSU too.
You will have to know the recommended PSU requirements and length of any card you might want, to make sure it will work with your Inspiron 3847.
You can look at userbenchmark.com to see what video cards others have installed in the Inspiron 3847, keeping PSU requirements in mind.
A simple alternative would be to buy a USB3>HDMI dongle and plug that into a USB3 port. Make sure the dongle supports your version of Windows, and the "recommended" (aka: "native" or "optimum") resolution of the monitor you'll connect to the dongle.

Are you saying you currently only have onboard Intel Graphics and no add-in video card?
What's the purpose, eg office work, gaming, streaming...?
Dell lists these cards as compatible:
• NVIDIA GeForce GT 625
• NVIDIA GeForce GT 635
• NVIDIA GeForce GT 705
