Hello people of Tom's Hardware! I just got passed down a Dell inspiron 3847 from my brother and wanted to know if there were any good LOW budget gaming Graphics cards out there. I have done lots of research but have not found a good answer! I wanted to keep the power supply which I think is 300W. But before if you could tell me to go buy a new power supply maybe try to find a graphics card that will work good for gaming with my 300w. I play games such as tf2, MC, Planetside 2, Warframe, Arma 2 & 3, BO2 & 3, and BF4, plus plan on buying Rainbow 6.

The best low profile graphics card you're likely to find would be the GTX 750Ti, eg. something like this one http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127836

It's also the fastest card that is going to work with a 300 Watt power supply. Anything faster than a 750Ti will need a better power supply, and if you do have a slimline system, you're not going to have the easiest time finding a better power supply for it. TFX form factor PSUs usually top out around 400 to 450 Watts simply because really high powered GPUs don't exist in a low profile form factor.
