There are 3 different size OptiPlex 380 Models. With Your Specs I'm guessing it's either the one in the middle or on the right ?

With the Stock PSU you're pretty limited on Your choices especially since the output of a power supply will degrade over time. Normally on a Rig like that I'd stick with running a Radeon 5450 or GeForce 210. You could possibly move up to something like a Radeon 6450 or GeForce GT 710 since the power draw isn't much higher.
i'm really looking forward to buy the EVGA GeForce GT 1030 2GB GDDR5 Low Profile Graphic Card ?
just want to know will i have any problem with it any or will it be suitable according to my PC profile
Nice GPU. If You go with that one I'd suggest that You don't have more than one internal HDD and if it's a mechanical drive, consider replacing it with a SSD.
in your opinion the GT 1030 will do fine ? will it bottleneck ?
TBH don't bother upgrading that build. Like others said, It's far too old and the primary bottlenecks are that obsolete cpu, the low amount of ram and PCIe 1.1, it's a total waste of money at this point. Pairing it anything newer than Kepler cards will seriously limit your performance and some modern cards also tend to have compatibility issues on systems non-UEFI/legacy BIOS. The full potential of those newer cards will be wasted and you will barely even reach 30fps+ unless you turn down most graphics settings. Your system also lacks AHCI support for SSDs so you'll lose performance here as well.
Save your money and buy a new PC.
thanks all for the suggestions.
i bought the GT 1030 Palit GeForce GT 1030 | eBay
can't get an EVGA as it does not ship to my country so i went for the Palit.
i will gather some more funds later to get a Pentium G4560 and upgrage RAM to 8GB :)
