So I have this optiplex 3050 MT and I was wondering if I could upgrade the PSU without burning any video cards along the way since the standard 250W power supply can't power more then GTX 1650 Super or a GT 1030. In terms of ram should I get the standard DDR4 2666Mhz or I need to get special memory?
No, you do not need to change memory when you upgrade cpu.
you currently have installed Micron 4GB PC4-2400 DDR4 288-Pin Desktop Dimm Memory Module Mfr P/N MTA4ATF51264AZ-2G3B1
It is DDR4-2400T. The T suffix at the end means it meets a specific JEDEC standard. A 2400T module will have the standard clock rates for a PC-2400 stick, and has a timing of 17-17-17, and a CAS latency of 14.16(ns).
Sorry for not understanding these types of memory, was thinking i could upgrade the ram like all the ordinary PC's out there but i guess i was a little wrong about this. Found the official Micron website that says it has memory modules for the 3050MT should that be Okay?
I am not sure. If they accept full money back if not working, you can give it a try. I would only choose and try those crucial memory that are DDR4-2400.
Would this stick work ?! Found it on my local platform...beside i know most people use Ebay and Amazon but when you live in East Europe and a memory stick cost 31$ and shipping is 49$ that's pretty bad
Well after doing some research... i think the best case scenario i'll just this 3050MT as a office PC and that's about it. What are some decent GPU that i could use on this with the standard OEM power supply that won't cause any trouble?
brad (aka the OptiPlex afficionado) has brought up a good point which allows some more detail. you can consider use the lower power gpu for Optiplex 3080 and Optiplex 3090 for your 3050. some of the oem gpu such as RX 640 (2019) are newer than R7 450 (2016).
AMD Radeon™ RX 640, 4 GB, GDDR5 (optional, Tower and Small Form Factor only)

Well i installed CPU-Z to check what time of memory i have installed in this sistem and this is what i've found
https://www.runonpc.com/4atf51264az-2g3e1-driver-downloads-update/
Seems it's a DIMM memory
Also do i need to change the memory again if i upgrade to a i5-7500?
