Best value card is something like the RX6400 [ebay.com]
If you go to MT format case, you may be able to fit some short 2 fan GPU, but it will be a tight fit. The single fan (itx) GPU will fit.
The other consideration is the power supply. You will have to upgrade to a more beefier one.
If you want to use that GPU in an OEM system, look at one of the workstations like the HP Z2 G4 Tower [ebay.com] or Dell Precision 3630 [ebay.com]
That said, for a desktop, I would take a refurb $200 Pro machine from Dell over anything at Best Buy, etc., that is new. You're getting the Pro Windows, no dealing with online/only accounts.
I can't speak for BlueIris, but I run a jellyfin server on a 4th gen xeon with transcoding done by a Nvidia T400 video card and it'll transcode up to 14 simultaneous 1080p streams without really taxing the CPU at all. From what I understand Intel's QuickSync from 7th gen on up can handle even more than that directly in the iGPU. Unless BlueIris is doing something beyond just encoding video streams to tax the CPU, I'd say you should be fine.

The 7070 Smal Form Factor also supports an integrated M.2 2230 adapter. [dell.com] This might be the preferred option for anyone reasonably comfortable with a screwdriver, since there's less chance of anyone removing the adapter accidentally as could be the case with an easily accessible USB port.
If you really want to over-complicate your installation, the Small Form Factor chassic could even support a PCIe Wi-Fi adapter assuming you use an adapter with a half-height bracket.
Good luck!

This eliminates a lot of the fun new models (like the newest 3050 6GB model available in dual slot low profile options) and restricts you to something like the GT 1030.
If you're looking for a little more raw horsepower without getting too creative with saws and PCIe risers you might consider a Quadro based solution as many of those will be available in low profile, single slot solutions and are often plentiful in the resale market from other Dell SFF systems. The T400 or T1000 models would conform to your system power and size limitations while potentially offering greater flexibility than the GT1030.
Good luck!
