Is this gpu compatible with i3?

msi geforce gt 1030 directx 12 gt 1030 2g lp oc 2gb 64-bit gddr5 pci express 3.0 x16 (uses x4) hdcp ready low profile video card


Is that compatible with i3-3220 3.30ghz processor?

Yes, i3-3220 and it's chipsets are limited to PCIe Gen2, but that won't limit performance.

Actually, a very balanced pairing IMO.

FWIW, if this is an old prebuilt (say, Dell or HP or something), you may find limitations with BIOS support for newer cards and it may not work.

If this is paired with a retail motherboard (ASUS, Gigabyte etc), then you shouldn't have any issues.

Yes my motherboard is a gigabyte one but may i ask another question. Would it be compatible with a gtx 1050 ti 4gb? Like i3 and motherboard?

Yes, your CPU/MB can pair with any modern GPU without issue - a 1050TI is probably the strongest card I'd look to pair with it though.
