Honestly I'd just save it up until you have at least $80-$100 minimum, not much to be had for $40 even if you go used.

Look at the used market, like ebay, you wont find really anything new worth any upgrade, even a GT 1030 is out of budget.

Maybe a used 750 or 750 ti but I am not familiar with used prices

if you save like $60 or $70 get a 750 ti.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

what games you trying to play? theres no point us recommending anything that wont cut it.

 

ie if you want CS:GO there are a few cheap cards... if you want apex then you'll need more $$$
