I took a long break and started back again, having fun but now my 2 little ones are interested (5 & 4) they want to play with me so i was thinking about setting them up with an account but the PC they have would need a Low Profile GPU. looking for some recommendations for just basic game play.
There are too many things wrong with this.
Generally speaking the NVidia x50 cards wind up being available in low profile. Most companies offered a 3050 (some more obscure brands even with single-slot cooling), and it looks like there are some 5050s - plus at least Gigabyte seems to have done a 5060. Similarly entry-level Intel and AMD cards are also on offer, like the RX 6500 or A380 (technically these are mid-range but lower than that is barely worth it over an iGPU any more). You really won’t get anything more performant than that as the form factor restricts cooling too much, but they should offer at least a decent experience provided that in-game settings are kept appropriately low.
Do be aware, however, that a Battle.net account requires - even with the consent of a guardian - the user to be age 13 or over, as most of the games that will be associated with it have a T or Teen rating (or the local equivalent) or higher. You can set one up for them to use in your name (rather than theirs) lower than that but it won’t change the nature of the games themselves. You may want to investigate the available parental controls before committing to purchasing any hardware or accounts.

No disrespect, just out of curiousity; aren’t they a little young to play a MMO? Isn’t this kinda bad for early age development? Will they even understand? I don’t have kids so this is a legit question
