Thread title says it all. I have an ASUS AM1-A board , 8 GB of DDR3 @1600Mhz and the Athlon 5350 CPU. W7 is loaded on an SSD. Can anyone recommend a graphics card to fit the system, The case is an Enlight 1502 with a seasonic 300w PSU, So the height of the GPU must be minimal :)

Thanks in advance!

How comes your answer is selected as best solution? Did I do that?

Budget 100 GBP and I would like to play games at 720p ( I'm using a projector) on med-high settings. Mainly just fifa 14 and Need for speed. Thanks.

Actually forget the budget, just recommend the best card that will (a) not be bottlenecked by the CPU and (b) that will fit inside the case. The PCI-e slot on the mobo I believe is PCI x 16 slot but only provides 4 lanes. So please take this into account.

OK, not many replies as yet. I know this much so far ...
(1) a 750Ti is round about the right card to go with the CPU I have ( in fact probably overkill)

(2) I need a LP bracket fitted as the PCIe bracket covers on my case are about half the size of regular ones................
(3) Also that I need a card that has Low profile PCB design.

I have arrived at this card....

the issue for me is that the manufacturer doesn't state width of the card with the LP bracket ( supposedly included) fitted!
Anyone own this card and willing to get their rulers out?? :)

Well, I guess I will see how it goes trying to fit the Gigabyte low profile 750Ti to this "slim" Enlight 1502 case of mine. Will be a tight squeeze. Will post back to confirm that this card either does / does not fit in the case :)

I can confirm that the card I have linked, the low profile Gigabyte 750Ti has total height of approx 6cm with the low profile bracket fitted, but the LP bracket was a must as it wouldn't have fitted otherwise in my slim pc case, the Enlight 1502. This card is also partnering well with the Athlon 5350 APU in most games I have played so far with no sign of any real CPU bottlenecking occurring. Great little card for light gaming and its TINY!
The Enlight 1502 comes bundled with a 300w Seasonic 80+ Bronze PSU which I can confirm is SILENT!! V impressed as I paid under 40 bucks for the PSU and the case ( which is also well constructed)
