New to pcs here: I need to replace the GPU of my crappy ASUS prebuilt

I got my first real pc recently, and I unfortunately didnt do enough research as I was banking on my friend telling me whether or not something was good. I, unfortunately, got this pc not realizing how crappy some of the parts are

https://www.bestbuy.com/product/asus-v500-desktop-intel-core-i7-16gb-memory-1tb-ssd-dark-gray/JJGGLH2GQ7/sku/6613707

the specs, as a tldr

CPU: 13th gen Intel Core I7-13620H

Ram: 16g DDR5

GPU: Intel UHD Graphics (cries)

180W PSU

This is the worst because I am now realizing after having the PC for a month and doing some research that I need a designated graphics card to play a lot of higher end games (rivals and subnautica 2 specifically) and that this pc has a lot of reaaallly specific requirements if I wanted to upgrade my graphics card and not pay 200 dollars to do so. Really the main issue is the 180W PSU here, and according to the manufacturer it cant be upgraded which means I need a very low-power GPU (esp since i have an intel core i7). A lot of the old ones i have been finding have all been really old models, meaning they dont support Windows 11 or Directx 12, making them all useless for playing newer titles.

So really im looking for any suggestions on a low profile, low power GPU that can support windows 11 🙏

edit: i should also mention i only play on 1080p
