I need to upgrade my graphics card on my Hp Elite 8200 sff.
My choices look limited based on my psu is 240w and the smaller case of the computer.

I wanted to run Battlefield 4 on this system. Its running an Intel Core i5-2400 Processor 3.10 GHz, 6M cache, 4 cores/4 threads, with an Intel HD Graphics 2000 currently. It has low profile expansion slots (1) PCI, (1) PCI Express x1 and (2) PCI Express x16 graphics.

I have a 2gb EVGA 02G-P4-3751-KR GeForce GTX 750 Ti in another computer that I was thinking of switching over, but Im not sure if it will be able to run with the 240w psu and if it needs brackets. :(

Going off of what Hp's quick specs pdf says about what this computer can upgrade to, it shows the AMD Radeon HD 6450 Graphics (PCIe x16) would be able to work. Unfortunately this pdf is dated in 2013, and I was wondering if anything better came out that is low profile and able to run off of this 240w psu.
Thank you.

The HD6450 is a 27W card at 100% load, so gives you a bit of an idea what can safely run off of a 240W PSU...

An R7 240 would be a good step up from the 6450, but nothing substantial - it's still a 3 year old, low-end card.

A 750TI can require up to 60W at full load. It would likely be ok in there, assuming you can find a low-profile version, and the PSU hasn't degraded too much.

I'd expect that SFF rig to require no more than maybe 175W at max load (which it's rarely likely to hit). That just about leaves enough for the 750TI. You'd need to stress test to ensure stability (or not let it hit 100% load), but it should be workable.

Thank you very much Barty1884 for the very quick and informative response. :)

I found the ASUS 2GB Graphics Card R7240-2GD3-L which seems promising. I was just wondering if the GTX 750 Ti OC Low Profile 2 GB would still be likely ok as reading the requirements it shows a minimum 400w psu (although it seems like going off the recommended watts isn't the final say..depending on requirements for different systems..etc.)

Thank you very much for your great help.
