Better graphics card for Dell E520

[Miu]

I have a Dell E520 using a WG864 Motherboard, 2.66Ghz Dual Core 2 Processor, 4GB RAM
and 460 Watt Cooler Master Power supply and a MSI HD 6450 graphics card.

I can't use dual slot cards because the space in the tower, so I was wondering what a good affordable GPU would be good for this? I don't want to spend to much, about $100 max.

Thanks.

Single slot, low profile only? Not much choice eg http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007709%20600029795&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&Order=PRICED&PageSize=30

How is the GT 730 for gaming? Not looking to play the latest and greatest games at max or anything. Stuff like Skyrim.

Its better than other low profile GPUs.

Is it worth the price for getting DDR5 and 2GB?

Someone on the reviews said that the Dell MOBO Bios don't recognize the card...

They should work on any mobo.

They both have 2gb vram. The DDR3 is going through a 128bit interface. The DDR5 only 64 bit. They'd even out.

Get the cheaper.

Was looking at these too:

I think those will fit, the Zotac might just barely fit.

Will PCI Express 3.0x16 work on my PC?

Tower is 7 inches wide, and I have a about 5-6 inches before the heatsink shroud gets in the way of length.

If they fit, they'll work OK.
