What is your budget for upgrades?

As mentioned, you won't fit an RTX in a SFF case and the power supply likely won't support one either.

If you wanted a full-size GPU, you would have to get an external GPU or upgrade to a full size case, which would likely require a new motherboard (which I honestly don't think is worth it considering the lack of good motherboards for your current CPU).
