How about this: https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-Graphics-192-bit-GV-N2060IXOC-6GD/dp/B07M6VMTRQ

I didn't see anything stronger that would fit, but I didn't do an exhaustive search.

little pricey

Yes, it is.
Probably going to have to go to a 1650 or 1650 Super then.

There's a reason we ask for details of system components.

In your case, you have an issue with your motherboard. It lacks a PCI-Ex16 expansion slot. It only has one PCi-Ex1 expansion slot. Therefore, you cannot install a discrete graphics card that will improve your Steam Box idea.

Good catch Wolf; I totally missed the x1.

That does make it a lot harder.

You could try this one:
https://www.amazon.com/ZOTAC-GeForce-Profile-Graphic-ZT-71304-20L/dp/B01E9Z2D60

It's not much, but still faster than UHD 600.

The GT 710 suggested by @DeauteratedDog won't win any performance prizes, but it should be enough for play your game.

The motherboard has a weak J4105 celeron processor with an included fanless heat sink.
Why in the world would you need a aio liquid cooler?

A Celeron CPU and a low end video card will not be overheating in that case at all. If you want to use your i5 that may be a better idea but what motherboard you get depends on what i5 you have, there are 10 generations of them now.
