I have a HP Z220 SFF workstation but it is a SFF so I can't put a normal GPU in it. I want to upgrade my GPU in the near future but what is the best way to do it?

Are there any cheaper ways to do this?

Thanks for reading!

Your motherboard is specifically designed for a business machine and has limitations on the gaming options..... You can't change that fact, so you either work with it, or change the mobo.
