I have a little computer, and it's great for casual gaming but the graphics card is low so it's hard to play a decent variety of games. I'm just looking for a small, cheap ( around $60, I'm not looking to run Skyrim on super high or anything) graphics card upgrade recommendation because i've looked around and had troubles finding anything that's cheap and will fit the slim case.

Computer: Gateway SX2851-41

i would recommend a radeon hd 7750 low profile. but you need also a psy upgrade, 220W psu that the pc has is just too little for any graphics card i think.... in either case, the 7750 might work with the 220W psu, it's risky a bit but if the psu is well built it should work until you manage to upgrade that psu.

You never stated a budget, and 'cheap' could be completly different from other people's perspective of 'cheap'

This is probably the best you could buy to fit in a slim case

the link is wrong i think, that's not a low profile card. can't fit slim cases.

i noticed it's an itx version, problem is the port bracket. seems to big (tall) to fit a low profile case.
