Hello all,
Which low-profile GPU should i get for a system like this:? Please recommend.

amd 4400+ x2 @ 2.2ghz (s939)
2 gb ddr 400mhz ram
ati hd 6450.
x64 win7

this was on a 300w psu with this case.

i like the case and the pc overall, and it can play shank 2 with some stuttering, browse web etc. but it can not play Rocksmith so what i would like to pay is around 100$ range for a GPU.

ps: this is a secondary pc just to sit next to tv unit.

Depends on the game. Some games use virtually no CPU power whatsoever, some like loads. At least it's a dual core processor, and most games will at least be playable with a dual core. My other PC has an old Core 2 Duo @ 2.5Ghz (E5300). It won't play Crysis 3 or Planetside 2, but most other games run just fine.

Have you tried Steam Homestream? I'm in the beta test and works great streaming games to my 7 year old laptop. This would make a great box to stream games to. https://steamcommunity.com/groups/homestream

Hey, thanks;
i was thinking of the 7750 before making this post, is not it an "overkill" for a 7 year old cpu/ram ? (which are ddr 1-pc3200 ddr 400 mhz rams)
