Like an idiot, I purchased an Optiplex 360. I have the processor to play a decent amount of games, but the video card is rubbish. Currently have a G33/G31 chipset onboard, but looking to do an upgrade. Mainly looking to play Starcraft 2 (which I can on ultra low settings) Diablo 3 and perhaps Mech warrior Online.. Want something decent, and not to extremely priced, but it has to be low profile. Any suggestions on what would do well?

 
Since you mentioned low profile, this is the best option you have - Sapphire 7750 low profile http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202002
Don't be fooled by manufacturer power supply requirements.
Also, don't be confused by other things as PCIE power requirements of 25 watt - this is 7750 card which Dell tested on many models including yours Optiplex 360 DT http://accessories.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=A6523076&mfgpid=192262
