Welcome to our HP community forum!
The graphics card you referenced, an MSI GeForce RTX 3050 VENTUS 2X 6G OC 6GB GDDR6, has a 130-watt TDP and requires one 8-pin PCIe power cable. You could install that card with no problems if you got the 400-watt power supply (p/n: 942332-001). If you got the 250-watt power supply, you would need to upgrade your power supply.
On the other hand, if you meant the MSI RTX 3050 Low Profile 6 GB -which does have a 70-watt TDP and doesn't require a PCIe power cable, then you could install it without any issues in your PC with a 250-watt power supply.
Hope this was helpful.
Kind Regards,
