Unfortunately Sapphire 7750 low profile is out of the production, so this link doesn't provide much help.

Now the only one available low profile card is VisionTek http://www.amazon.com/VisionTek-Products-Express-Graphics-900549/dp/B008RLHFQ6/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1397491803&sr=1-2&keywords=7750+low+profile

@K-NineHD:
What CPU you currently have?

there's an HIS low profile 7750, amazon also has ddr2 for sale or you could try ebay from a good seller, just make sure not to get the wrong type ram from china...I only get from USA sellers

HIS has FAT cooler, protruding too far making this card almost dual, it might not fit.

There are only small pictures out there, let me show what I have found (I seen this HIS card, but omitted for that reason, LOL)

This is good video to observe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iunWTyz-Vik it is about XPS 200, but XPS 210 has the same architecture

So HIS fans might touch hard drive, leaving very little space for air to move around, other than this, HIS card looks very good.

@K-NineHD:

I currently have the stock CPU and 4GB of ram and an ATI Radon 4550 I seen a GTX 750TI low profile for sale would
That fit

OK, there is slight possibility, I would say 50/50 chance that you can upgrade your CPU to Q6600 ($45-50 on eBay), I have only 1 confirmation http://www.computermemoryupgrade.net/viewtopic.php?p=1119&sid=d9c3a90b31978cae51f87711b3a25b5f So I would not be held resposible for any losses, if it doesn't work, seriously.
If Q6600 will work, I can help you to overclock Q6600 from 2.4 GHz to 3 GHz, another 50/50 chance.

RAM possibly can go up to 8 GB, how much you have now?

Taking into consideration your budget ($200), I would go with 7750 GPU and I would risk and get Q6600, if it works, you will have big difference, if not, oh well you tried.

This is about it.
