I've bought this two years ago and now I'm looking to upgrade its graphics card. I don't want to head in the wrong direction so I'm hoping you guys can provide me with what type of card I would need to get or whatever I need to know. Thanks in advance.

If your current GPU is a 745 i really doubt that there will be a PCIexpress power connector for a GPU upgrade in there, so i'd go with a GTX 1050 ti, the problem there would be the cooling, i dont know if there is a 1050 ti that has a blower type cooler.

What size does the GTX card need to be considering the size of the desktop?

You need to look at the size of your current card, but one of those mini-itx card will likely do the trick, dunno about cooling.

if you have the 330w power brick then you can get a reference gtx 1060
