Hey guys, I have an Emachine El1352 slimline PC. I'm not interested in buying a new PC to play League and I just want to upgrade the graphics card so I can play the game, even if it's at low settings. Anything is better than the onboard graphics that I currently have... but my question is, which card would be best for my slim PC with a Powersupply of 250 W. I know it's difficult to find a card like this but I'm not sure if these two cards:

Would do the job for me. I checked my PC and I have a PCI-E x16 slot. Can anyone help please?

how many slots?

will a double wide slot card fit?

you could try an r7-250 or 250x. I think those are the fastest cards now that don't need a power plug ( and you'll have to look at the pictures of whatever you look at to confirm that. there may be exceptions.

a 6770/6750/7750/6670/6650 would all be choices........... i see by the links you provided the cost. these last cards will be a little faster than the ones you posted but be near the same price. you have to look at everything.

The emachine is very small. Does it support a full PCI express card? Is there even an expansion slot on the back? It's a Mini ITX case.

I would confirm if it even has a PCIe x16 slot. The powersupply is not going to be large enough for any dedicated graphics card, I would be surprised if it's over 250W.
It's only 220W. I don't think the 750 Ti will fit comfortably in the case, and you will risk crashing under load.

Yes there is an expansion slot. It also does support a full dedicated card. I spoke to someone else who has my same PC and puts cards in them and they run games fine.

I just don't know which low profile card would be best.
