The GT 1030 GDDR5 Isn't a bad card at all

The GT 1030 is only if you need something to fit into a pre-build or to hold over till you have more money. If you play games like Overwatch, League and indie games its fine. Otherwise you will be sub 1080p in most other games.  The GTX 1050 does not need a ton of power and can draw power directly from the mobo. 

 

I just built my buddy a PC using all used parts. Ryzen 1700/GTX 1060 build for under 700 dollars.  Could have gone with a Ryzen 1300 and GTX 1050 for under 500 if he really was struggling.

I just completed some tests with this GPU. I had paired it with a Xeon x5570. In short, you get what you pay for. It ran quite well in heavily optimized titles such as Battlefield 1, CS:GO and even Arma 3 at 1080p. However, ran quite poorly in other titles which I believe are not optimized so well. In pubg I had to turn graphics to lowest settings and lower resolution in order to sustain over 40 frames.

There are sff pre-built systems that can't deliver 75 watts to the pcie slot. This is a good option for those systems.
