you have to see if your Motherboard has a PCI express x16 slot and even if it doe's you are going to need to upgrade your power supply

if you can send a link to the one you are planing on buying.

And i cant seem to find the Inspiron 3847 with the G3240 CPU. but the best thing you can do is open the side door of the case and see inside for yourself and see if it has a PCI x16 slot the slot should look like this http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/fullimage.php?image=1719
