Hi Soraia,
The Mac Mini uses onboard Intel graphics processing (probably HD 4000 series) not a discrete GPU. There is no way to fit a standard consumer form factor graphics card inside a Mac Mini.
There are some external GPU enclosures that use thunderbolt connections from Asus or MSI that are currently in the works right now (and some discontinued by other companies). Otherwise there are some DIY guides around the internet for this sort of thing but they usually are pretty cost inefficient (GPU + dedicated power supply) and take some time to get working, if at all.
If you're looking to game on this thing I'd definitely recommend looking elsewhere for a solution. This one is just a bit too experimental and janky to be a good option in my opinion.
