I purchased this and I realized after the fact that the onboard graphics are not enough for just Minecraft, which is mostly what this machine is going to be doing. A cheap GPU recommendation if anyone could help me would be appreciated. I don't wanna make a wrong call due to the machine being a bit older and not sure how it is compatibility wise with newer hardware  Nothing more than $100-120 USD :D

tankuuuuuu

if its one of the smaller form factor ones you'll need a half height card.

 

I have no idea what the power supply is like in that thing but here is the only card that will fit in the case that I found in your budget.

 

Geforce GT 1030 Low Profile 2GB - $84.99 (newegg)

 

The only problem is im not sure how much better it is over the HD Graphics 4600 that is in it.

They say it'll do a quite better job. I guess i should investigate on the psu too, but yeeT Thanks!

Not a whole lot. But fortunately, the GTX 1650 is the fastest 75w GPU out there (doesn't need any PCIe power and will run on anything) and also comes in half-height variants. $150 though... But this is what I would get for an optiplex.
