Low profile refers to the height of the video card. The case you have determines which you can use: http://www.netshop.co.uk/SC/media/glossary-images/form_factor-138f91a8.jpg

Is yours the tower: http://cdn1.bigcommerce.com/server3600/e4e2f/products/462/images/604/hp-evo-dc7700-tower-pc-1105-27-excelone-1__10015.1356828111.500.750.jpg?c=2
If so, it doesn't need to be low profile.

If it is this style SFF case, you need can also use a std. height card: http://ecosocialstore.retechlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/DC7700sff-4.jpg

If yours is this style SFF case, you need a low profile card: http://www.tera.lk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/l/a/large_6_dc7700sff-c2d186-mar-2r-box_1_2_1.jpg

First of all, the explanation given by clutchc is complete and very good.
All HD5450 I've seen are low profile so they will work for you, regardless of your PC's case. Just be sure to have all brackets. The card comes with the big (full height) bracket mounted and has 2 small (half-height) brackets - one for the DVI/HDMI port(s) and one for the VGA D-Sub connector.
