Upgrade

For a drop in upgrade that should work, the 3050 seems to be your best bet as it'll run off of the PCI slot alone. I don't know what the internals of that unit are like or what cables the PSU does or doesn't come with, it looks fairly compact too so low profile is likely a requirement.
My basket at OcUK:
This should work, any "cheaper" variant should do the same, just be wary as some models of the 3050 might require a power connector.
That said, if you can find out the exact PSU in the system you might be able to get a better deal as the 3050 is astonishingly poor value.
Edit: Just double checked the game, it isn't even out yet unless there's some sort of early access? I'd wait and see, you might be happy with performance using your current setup, which sure as hell beats spending £150 on a bad product.

- 1 x Palit GeForce RTX 3050 StormX OC 6GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GRA-PAL-04925) = £158.99
Total: £162.98 (includes delivery: £3.99)

Looking at the pictures on Acer's website it looks like you can fit a dual slot half height GPU.
The PSU is 180W, probably from FSP, and I found this video on upgrading it:
Assuming you can fit a 450W / 500W PSU then you should look at a Gigabyte RTX 5060 Low Profile
