Hi:
I think the AMD RX550 would fit the bill...

I was checking out this one https://www.ebay.com/itm/224837727611.
I get mixed up on the sff thing and "low profile" or whatever. I need something that is better then what i got right now but will work in this old computer lol

You posted that you have a CMT.
If that is correct, then a standard sized video card will fit.
If you have a SFF, it won't.
As you can see from the eBay listings that model comes in the low-profile form factor as well and has the standard size PCI mounting brackets needed for the CMT.
The one you linked is low profile, but if that is the only mounting bracket it comes with it won't work in a CMT.
You need one like this: Standard mounting bracket.

Here's a benchmark comparison of the card you have now and the RX 550:
