I'm planning to buy a graphics card soon like the Nvidia GT 210 (512 MB) to partner it with my Core 2 Duo E8400 (3.0 GHz) but I'm having a problem whether I should buy a low profile or a high profile full-height GPU because I don't wanna buy the same thing again just because I bought the wrong height bracket.

The desktop computer I have is an HP Compaq Pro 6000 Microtower and a monitor with a display solution of 1280x1024

The MicroTower SKU can accept a regular, full height PCIe slot GPU. You're good either way. The low profile GPU's often come with a full height bracket so you can swap them out but if you're choices are full height or low height, get full height.
