I've got a mini case on my PC and so the profile of the graphics card is pretty important. I'm looking for something that I can put in and then use as a dedicated card for gaming, I currently have a ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT and that isn't really cutting it for my 1680 x 1050 resolution screen, preferably under £100, any recommendations?

Hey newegg does not ship in UK, so do not get the card from newegg as you cannot buy from newegg for UK.
Get this much better 7790 instead. It is extremely small and is much more powerful than the 7750. You can see in the pic below how low profile it is.
You can get it from AriaPC from the link below.

Yeah I wasn't going to get the card from there seeing as it's canadian.
That looks good also however I see that as it has two ports that I would have to remove my current card as well in order to fit that in, so would this card be better than both my current one AND the one previously suggested?

Believe me, this card is much better than your old card as well as the 7750.
In fact is is actually two levels above the 7750.
7790 > 7770 Ghz Edition > 7770 > 7750
So you can see there is quite a bit difference. The comparison between the 7790 and the 7750 is :
I was not able to get the benchmarks of the 2400XT anywhere but believe me, the 7790 is like 20 times faster than that old card and is like 4-5 generations newer and much higher ranked (400 of the 2400 vs 790 of the 7790) so it should perform much better.
Also Can I know the specs of your PC just to ensure that there is no bottleneck. Tell me these specs :
1. Case
2. CPU
3. PSU
4. Motherboard
This should ensure the compatibility.

Okay thanks here are some more specs
Case: Dell OPTIPLEX 755 Small Form Factor SFF
CPU: Intel(R) Core (TM)2 Dup CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz, 3000 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 2 Logical Processor(s)
PSU: I'm not 100% sure as there are no physical markings on the case but i think I recall it being something like 275 Watt
Motherboard: Again not sure if this is what you're looking for but it's BIOS Version/Date is Dell Inc. A11, 04/08/2008 and it's SMBIOS Version is 2.5
Hope this helps

Okay would you know if my current setup could handle any of these?

Sorry man.. for a 275W PSU. You should not get anything more than a 7750. It would literally burn. Get this card instead which would be handled by the 275W PSU. But do not expect anything more than a 7750 for that PSU. It would be like pushing it above the limit which can be disastrous. So get this GPU instead. With that PSU, you really cannot ask for more.

Those cards are either ancient or not meant for gaming. So, get the 7750 instead. Those cards are just crap for your need.
