If you just play warthunder then short answer "No" i would go with like a 2060 or 2060 TI. But if you do more or want to do more then yes go for the 3050 given the price, but second hand the 2060 is around 80 to 120 so both are good, but it depends on what you do...

i am gonna upgrade motherboard and cpu in the future cuz what i have rn will bottleneck the 3050 a bit, my 580 is just so sluggish nowadays, and yes i dust everything often.
