Your link takes me to a general page, no system details. Also, which version do you have, the Mini-Tower (MT), the Desk Top (DT) or Small Form Factor (SFF)?

Another SFF, they are not easy. First, here is the tech guide.
http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/optix/en/optiplex_3010_technical_guidebook.pdf

See pages 13 and 16. You will need a low profile, 50W max card which doesn't leave you much. Likely the PCI-e x16 slot has a restricted wattage from the normal 75W. See page 18, you only have a 240W PSU. From looking at pictures of the insides it looks like you need a single slot card as well. Pretty much leaves you with a GT 1030. But this will be a huge improvement over the GT 710

Here are four cards which look to fit and meet the power requirement.
