If you have 3020 MT and i5, the stock 290W is just good enough to support RX 460 if you disconnect power to optical drive. basic on line psu calculator shows
Load Wattage:244 W
Recommended PSU Wattage:294 W
assuming i5-4590, 16gb ram, RX 460, 7.2k rpm sata hdd.
If you use sata ssd instead of mechanical hdd, it is more power efficient.
Load Wattage:236 W
Recommended PSU Wattage:286 W
