Is this graphics card suitable for general office work and web browsing?

The GIGABYTE WINDFORCE GeForce RTX 3050 Graphics Card is a powerful graphics card with features such as 2304 CUDA Cores and 6GB GDDR6 memory. It is designed for high-performance tasks, making it more than capable of handling general office work and web browsing efficiently.

Can this VGA card function well with a 300W system and without external power connectors?

It depends on what CPU you are planning on getting, and on the motherboard. most CPUs take about 65-140W and most motherboards take about 25-80, and you would have to take into consideration of how many fans you will have (most fans take about 2-5W each.) and the GPU itself takes 130W, so you should probably go with a 650W Fully modular PSU, though if you wanted to future proof it, you should go and get 850W Hope this helps :)
