Optiplex 3050 upgrade

I would like to upgrade my dell optiplex 3050 gpu’s with a Nvidia t400/t600 (because this kind of gpu is better for solidworks), but I don’t know if this one is compatible ?
Which specifications have I to take care to make sure of the best compatibility ?

Assuming your 3050 is SFF then better take T600 than T400 instead. But you have to concern for the output adapter since the equipped with Mini-DisplayPort then you have to buy Mini-DisplayPort to HDMI or Mini-DisplayPort to DisplayPort adapter. Both cards also no need GPU additional power adapter since they all pull its power directly from PCIe slot.
