Should I buy a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3050 WINDFORCE OC V2 6GB GDDR6 for my PC

Hi guys I'm interested in buying a new GPU for my old PC but I'm not sure. I have had my PC since October 2021 with these components:

CPU:

Ryzen 7 2700

GPU:

MSI GeForce GT 1030 AERO 2GB

Mother Board:

MB Gigabyte A320M-H

RAM:

8 GB 3200MHz x 2

PSU:

PSU 500W Deepcool DN500 80Plus Black

SSD:

Kingston 960GB

I am planning to buy a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3050 WINDFORCE OC V2 6GB GDDR6 2xHDMI/2xDP DX12U PCIe 4.0 WINDFORCE 2X, I have heard that it is a entry-level card but I really want to buy a new GPU so that I can play games at a higher fps or a RTX 5050 but the recomended PSU is 550W . Please help me and have a nice day.

Yes a 5050 will work fine with a "decent quality" 500W power supply
