The graphics card is a bottom of the barrel performer.
It depends on the type of games you're interested in playing. If you're talking about 20+ year old games, then it's no problem. If you're thinking of playing modern games, then it will be very disappointing.

Define what your version of "casual gaming" is.
You will not be able to play many games in medium or higher settings. It's not terribly priced, and it's a solid budget build. However, I would upgrade the graphics card when you can.

Indeed.
The problem with most of these systems is that they are built specifically around power consumption. The space and power requirements of better graphics cards quickly hamstring choice.
In almost every case, you are better off buying a pc with the components that are matched to that system.
That being said. Ideally, one would buy individual components and assemble the pc from higher quality parts. This allows the most control and upgrade ability in the future.

If I had to, I'd stick with 1080p/120 FPS

A list of games or goals would help. 1080p/120 frames on Hell Let Loose takes more effort than 1080p/120fps on CSGO.

I like Rocket League and Overwatch 2 currently. I would like to transition to Destiny 2 later on but I'm pretty sure I'd need a lot more performance power across the board for a game like that.

Are you interested in building? Post a question over on the gaming board and i'm sure there will be plenty of poster willing to lend some advice.
Destiny 2 is pretty optimized, but I think that PC would struggle a bit, even at 1080.

I upgraded an older PC I bought at a yard sale for $5 with max RAM, SSD and a GT 1030(which is inferior to the RX 6400) and my kids have no issues playing GTA 5 on it. Fortnite runs great. The only game that lags is Red Dead Redemption 2.
