Optiplex 3000 tower, like its higher class models 5000/7000 tower use Dell proprietary 8 pin atx12vo Psu for which there is no known adapter yet. The max oem psu offered by Dell for 3000 is 300w b/c the 3000 is entry level model.

Edit:
3000 tower mobo has 8+4 pin
3000 SFF mobo has 8+4+4 pin
5000/7000 tower mobo has 8+4+4 pin
it remains to be verified whether 400/500w with 8+4+4 pin is c/w 3000 tower.
at this point it can be presumed that 400/500w psu are c/w 3000 SFF.

What we do know from Inspiron 3910 and 3020 user validation (which also has 8+4 pin) is that certain Dell oem psu with 8+4+4 pin is still compatible. “"when it comes to a 4+4 you never have to plug in both if the board doesn't have the second plug.”
The validated Dell 500w psu model is
DP/N TPX56
D500EPS-01
