Hello everyone. I am making this post to find out what you all suggest on a small graphics card I can get to insert into the PCI Express x16 slot of my Dell Optiplex 760 computer?
It is a small form factor so it will have to be a very small card and one that does not require a lot of power since the power supply is only 250w I believe.
Right now, it is using the onboard VGA connection and a CRT monitor is hooked up to it. I would like to use a DVI monitor and maybe even be able to run some older games on minimum settings.
I will try to include a few pictures of the desktop.

The computer specs are:
Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 3.33GHz CPU
4GB RAM DDR2-800
DVDROM
Onboard Video and Sound cards
Vista Business
250w Power Supply? I could check this to verify.
2TB Sata Hard drive
Would an XFX HD 5450 work? Here is a link to it.

The dimensions of the card are: 7.17" x 3.19" x 1.1" which should fit I would say?
but it does specify that a minimum of a 400w power supply is recommended,
so I should stay away from that one?
Another option would be to upgrade the power supply if you all know any that can fit this computer, so that way I have the option of upgrading to a more powerful graphics card in the future. For now though, I would just like to a use a low profile DVI video card.
Thanks for your suggestions. Have a nice day! :)
