If you only want to play HD movies then your ThinkCentre M82 can do that out of the box. The integrated graphic card on the i5-3570 is powerful enough to play HD movies. And I checked the specs for the ThinkCentre M82 and you have a "displayport" output behind. All you need to buy is a "displayport-to-HDMI" adpater.

Here are two options:

Cable:

Or if you really want a card this would do:

This one is really cheap but don't expect any kind of performance out of it. Just good enough to play HD movies and it has a HDMI output as you wanted. It's just that it won't be that much more powerful than your integrated card... and as I said your integrated card can already play HD movies so I don't see the point of adding a card.
