    For that price I would go with a gt640 u can get them in a single or dual slot config and they are rather short.

    That's where I was checking, but I don't know what it can handle, or if the card will be too big
    first off if you look for a different style after market solutions it would help

    also be a good idea to measure how long of a card you can use there are also LP low profile cards
    most of the time basic card is 10" the big boys goes about 11.5 to 12" long so pretty much I would do midrange card maybe hd7790 short not to long maybe 8 inches ?

    This card is only 7 1/2 long and works great

    LOL, he said $100.

    So winner here:

    MSI R7770-PMD1GD5 Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card - Newegg.com

    Length looks very reasonable, thickness 2 slots.... and yeah huge upgrade from your current situation.

    Otherwise if Nvidia fan:

    See this to help decide, keep in mind the 7770 is probably even ahead further since it's the GHz edition:
