The 1030 is super low power, so yeah you should be fine. The usual favorites for an optiplex like that are a GTX 750 ti, a 1050, or a 1050 ti. All decently powerful, affordable, and efficient.

I'm upgrading a old optiplex 7010, and want to put in a Gigabyte GT 1030 graphics card. I was wondering if 275 watts will be enough to power the system, or if I should upgrade it to a 400 watt Power supply.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Probably not an 8100 because there is no way to have 10GB of ram with DDR4. I am not aware of 2 GB DDR4 sticks.
