New to the PC world and not very tech savvy, could use some advice

My gf and I got this pc on a sale. It’s performed fairly well on mostly performance mode for Hogwarts and barely ran The last of us (a few rainbow colored objects every now and then) and was concerned with how it’ll perform with starfield. I really don’t understand Pc specs since I’ve never dealt with them much in my previous work and always had a console for gaming. Pc specs seem like another language. And I see some things that say i7 is minimum and i5 is recommended but I thought i7 was better so that confused me too. Also, whenever we play on pc with an Xbox one controller, there is a very slight, but noticeable input lag that I can’t seem to fix. Anyway, sorry for rambling just wondering how you think it’d perform or any recommendations to settings and whatnot that could help. Thanks in advance for any info!

Turning my Dell Precision 3420 SFF into a full gaming pc

So I have a Dell Precision 3420 SFF with a i7-7700. I want to make it as crazy as possible. I just bought the new Gigabyte 4060 Low Profile to put in it (Yes it cost more than 2x the pc itself, and yes I don't care). The precision has a 180W psu which is nowhere near what I need to power the 4060. The obvious choice would be to upgrade the psu, except it's all proprietary, and the only upgrade option is to a 240W which still isn't enough, and that is ignoring the connector I need for the 4060. But then I remember that I had this big hunk of metal, taking up space for a not so important reason, the drive bays. I took out my drive bays which freed up a lot of space. I want to know if there is a really small psu, with at least 115W and an 8 pin connector that would fit there. The two dimensions it could fit in are 150mmx120mmx46mm if it went over the ram or 150mmx80mmx55mm next to the ram. Anyone know of a psu this small?

Increase dedicated video memory?

Is it possible to increase my dedicated video memory for gaming? I don’t know a whole bunch about graphics cards but it’s 4GB total but only 512MB dedicated video memory. This is my laptop, it’s an Acer Aspire 3. I saw to look in the bios but couldn’t find anything where I could go and change it.

My honest opinion on Starfield

But for real! So far I love this game! It’s got just enough of that classic Bethesda jank.
