That might not be possible in the SFF. Power supply is too small for today's video cards and room is tight and some SFF models don't even have a slot for a video card. If you could not order a discrete card when you selected the 3060 sff, it probably cannot be added.
The service manual does not have instructions for a video card.

It would have to be a discrete card. Optiplex 3060 Spec Sheet.pdf unfortunately doesn't offer much.
One way to test a computer build is userbenchmark.com.

Nowadays you can install some cards with an acceptable behaviour, even in some games.
First I installed Nvidia GT 1030 and, later, Quadro T600 in my 3060 SFF, all them without power issues with its original 200w PSU.
I think there some margin for install a graphic card until 50/60w, In fact Dell recommends R5 430 and RX 640, two already 50 watts obsolete cards in its manual.
Modern cards use to be more power efficient than older and you can have good choices with less than 50 watts current cards.
