First off hello and happy Friday! Just dropping in to ask for some advice regarding upgrading an older Vostro 200 mini tower computer. I do basic music recording via my DAW and it has worked fine for that but as of late, my son wants me to join him in playing  Fortnite. I'm not much of a gamer but heck I'll give it a go. So I am basically upgrading this desktop to meet the DirectX 11+ requirements of the game. At the current time it says Direct X 11 not supported and the crutch is definitely the old video card. I would like to ask for options regarding video cards for this mini tower. And I know I have seen lots of recommendations for it but at this current moment, I am not looking to invest in a whole other computer system at this time (although we all know I probably should because I'm basically putting lipstick on a pig ha). Just looking for options with what I have to play the game with him. I figure this pc is primarily for my music/DAW recording and general computer functions about 95% of the time. That little remaining 5% would be the amount of time I use it for gaming purposes.

Here are my current specs and what I plan on upgrading with what I have laying around in storage from prior builds. Thanks in advance for your information. 

Oh quick question too - Does the Vostro 200 mini tower require a low profile video card  specifically? It seems like longer cards would butt up against the edge of the ram modules.
