I'm passing my old machine on to a family memember who will just be a basic user. Browsing, office etc. It won't have a graphics card in it though.

I assume it's just a case of me buying the cheapest card I can to fit, since it won't be doing anything (apart from driving two screens) ?

The graphics card needs to have connectors that will match the 2 monitors. That hd 5450 has a DVI-I and VGA which will do to hook up to 2 monitors with VGA connectors. You'll just have to get a DVI to VGA adapter ( about $10)

If its not for games and movies, it won't have to be very powerful. So the HD5450 should be OK.

The motherboard in the pc needs to have a x16 pcie slot to fit the card into. The card needs to be able to fit in the case. The power supply needs to have power connector s and enough power to run the pc plus the graphics card.
