You have shit. No, really, that computer is lower than garbage. You need a new system if you want a graphics card

You can't even upgrade you current system, so your only option is getting something that isn't worth $50

That seems like a passive-cooled AIO motherboard using a 7.5w CPU.

No amount of upgrading is going to fix that "Plauge" (haha)

You'll need an entirely new system.

550w PSU
Intel i3
16Gb Ram
GTX 1060 / RX 480 / RX 470
SSD
 


That's not even the issue! His system literally cannot use any commercially available graphics card because it doesn't even have a PCIe port!

That's not true!

Those boards commonly have a small open-end PCIe x4 slot.

I'm sure you could put.. I dunno. Something in there.

It wouldn't work. But you could put something in it. :p

Well it has 1 PCI(maybe -e) connector, so in theory you could attach some sort of GPU :D
 


1) Only has miniPCIe, which means it won't produce enough current for any graphics card to run without crashing the system
2) The case does NOT have space for any PCIe, even low profile
3) The PSU can't even handle a 730 properly

That thing makes my Raspberry PI look like a CAD workstation.
 


The Acer website is pretty screwed up, they show both the 700+ and 600 chassis photos for the 704g, and two sets of specifications

Anyway, with a 65W input wattage you aren't going to be able to safely power any gpus even if they fit
