Current specs. i5-7500, 2x4gb ddr4 ram.2x SSD. 1 hard drive with a 180w psu. if there is any graphics card out there that better than a hd-630 that is compatible with my psu and windows 11, please tell me, thanks!

Options are very limited due to the 180w PSU.
From the Optiplex 5050 Spec Sheet :
Supports optional discrete graphics Tower/Small Form Factor: AMD Radeon™ R5 430 1GB/2GB, AMD Radeon™ R7 450 4GB.
I hear the RX 6400 is a real good one at 50w, but I hesitate on suggesting any 50w on 180w PSU, though 50w cards are on Dell's spec sheet. GT 1030 is only 30w. But I would compare max resolution and frame rates (just to name two) to what you have now.
The Optiplex 5050 is much more business class than gaming class. But your needs aren't mentioned yet. Newer Optiplexe's that can be better geared for gaming from the factory are 5080/5090/7080/7090/5000/7000. Spec sheets can be Googled.

if you do not power a DVD or mechanical hdd in 5050, you can use a 180w psu to power gt1030
Load Wattage:163 W
