I tried to upgrade to Win10 but it turns out the software that operates the graphics chips on the motherboard is incompatible with Win10 and it's never going to be fixed.

So I need an inexpensive graphics card.

This system is fine for me, I don't do gaming but I watch a lot of movies.

What can I get?

You could probably 'punch it up a notch' right to a 750TI, as the power requirements over a 730 or 610/620 is minimal (<20W at full load), but the question is, why would you want to?

Given the uses you've described, you just need a bare minimum GPU that is W10 compatible - a 610/620 can be picked up for $30-$40 new (you could probably find a used one for ~$10) and will do what you want it to. Anything beyond that would be a bit of a waste IMO.
