[seteven]

hey i am a newbie when it comes to this kind of stuff. obviously i am not a serious gamer, i just want to play some old basic games for fun, just wondering if you guys could link me to the best card for this model on Ebay. i kinda know that it needs a certain expansion slot and certain types of power supply pins. i am very confused.

ok ive done some searching and found this one, so just to make sure, will this be compatible?:

It will need to be a low profile model. The one linked is low profile. There should be two metal brackets in the box one normal, as seen in the pic, and one for low profile.

The highest (and newest) you can probably go is a GT 1030.

If you going with GT 7XX series make sure and get the one with GDDR5 I couldn't find the specs on Nvidia site for the 710 with GDDR5 but any of the 720/730 with GDDR5 even if they only have 1GB of ram are better then the DDR3 versions.

Yes though going by a picture you will need to remove the VGA header and use a smaller low profile bracket.
