Best bang for your buck would be the RX 6400. $140+ new - Low power, low profile, single slot.
Budget, you can get a RX 550[ebay.com] LP for around $47+ used.
Performance wise the RTX A2000. $200+ new - Not sure it will fit the Acer since it is a 2 slot card.
There are also the GTX 1650 LP and 1050 LP cards you can source.
This is a good deal if you need a SFF PC.
I actually went the other route and needed a tower. I got Dell 7060 for $140 16GB, i5 8500, 512 SSD. Ex lease model.

Can someone chime in on what would be the best GPU i can add on to this. Use case would be 4k living room setup to play games (triple A titles that are single player) so it doesn't need to be max settings or 60 fps, I have a PS5 and gaming desktop already and just wanna play some PC games as well in the living room.
Also I'm aware I would need more storage and ram. And I've been recommended by others to get a use Dell something that looks like an old office pc and upgrade that, but just can't justify buying something that old and used.
Just bought the grade B version--thanks! I was looking at the Dell Optiplex desktops but I never found one at the price point I wanted. Getting a 10th gen Intel Core CPU at this price was a no brainer.
I hope to buy a PCI-e network expansion card and use this as a router. The motherboard looks like it has some slots for it. Fingers crossed..

Not sure this is going to work for you. That cpu probably won't handle triple A games and it only has a 300w psu so it's not going to be able to handle much in terms of gpu. You should look into streaming your games to your tv if you e already got a gaming pc.

You'll also need a better power supply for the GPU.

I got this back in Nov for a little under 200,Slickdeals. The case will only allow for a low profile card, which I've learned are harder to get a good deal on a decent one. It's great as a basic computer for day to day use once you upgrade the ram to 16gb.
When I do want to use a normal sized gpu, I have a pci e extender and have it hanging out of the case... 😂
There are various ways. I haven't looked into recently but you can try a steam link, nvidia shield, or something along those lines. Google "how to steam games from pc to tv" and it should return some results. Shouldn't be too difficult.

Using SteamLink might be the best option for you. You could still potentially pick up this unit (or something similar) and connect it to your TV in the living room. But instead of trying to upgrade the PSU or add a graphics card to it, you can just use SteamLink to stream from your current PC (presuming it's a powerful enough setup to currently run the Triple A games you have in mind) where it will do all of the "heavy lifting", to the TV where you'll have this machine hooked up on.
Of course, would have to have a solid internet/network connection in your home, as well, to handle the bandwidth from the gaming PC to this PC in the living room. But that might give you what you're looking for at a MUCH cheaper price point overall.
I have this response to @BigPoopa, so hopefully helps you as well:

If you plan to run the games on the gpu you plug into this computer, there is no way. There is no low power gpu that can handle 4k gaming slightest bit. But there is a way: steam remote play from your beasty pc. And for that, you don't need a gpu if this pc has hdmi 2.0 (could not confirm so may be stuck with 1440p res). I recommend connecting both with ethernet though, through wifi it is not reliable depending on your wifi setup. I use a similar setup with an intel nuc (8th gen i3) with igpu hooked up to my living room tv, streams games from the gaming pc in another room perfectly fine, both through ethernet.

I wonder what the power companion is for always on server use. The 10th gen Intel processors were not known for efficiency.
