I think your main upgrade priority should be to save up and get a new PSU, at about 450-550W depending on cost. Try and maybe find used products on EBay, FB Market, Craigslist, etc.

The lowest end GPU I can recommend for gaming is a GTX 750 TI. Anything lower, like the GT 1030, is just terrible value. You can run a 750 TI on a pretty low end power supply with no issues, and I'm pretty pleased with the performance of mine.

unfortunatly, he cant upgrade the power supply as it is a proprietary psu, and i highly doubt he will find a reliable one that fits inside his pc

yes, the gtx 750ti is your best option, gt 710 is not gonna be enough at all to play even some esport games, but the problem is finding one the small form factor, as they are really expensive compared to the normal sized gtx 750ti

I already recommended a new case and PSU since OP's motherboard fits in a standard case.

you should probably get a completely new pc, you can get decent fps with a 500$ pc too (at 1080p), you will still not get a lot of performance from your pc if you are thinking of goin medium or even high at 1080p
