you have a very low wattage power supply. this will limit you greatly on what you can run.
here is newegg filtered to low profile cards. as you can see there are plenty of options. you just need to find one that can run on your low watt psu.

this gt 740 is pretty low powered and very small. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA5752JT3023
probably the better one from that list

it's the best one i see on newegg that is low powered enough for your psu. it's possible there are other models out there but i can't think of another gpu that is this low powered and would come as a low profile card.
what are your hopes for what this card can do? may not be good enough for your goals.

yah it will be good enough for that but not much else 
so long as you don't expect ultra settings at 120 fps or anything like that. it'll work for low setting games like that no problem. if i may offer a though however, amd has new cards coming out at the end of the month. the new 460 is designed for those games and should be stronger performing and cost around $100. it will be low powered enough for you as well and the samples shown are pretty small. might give it a few weeks and se if there isn't a compact card coming out that is better than what is out now.
if not, this card will still be there

thanks for the heads up, i'll look out for them. but also I am worried about the graphics card not being able to fit. as the PC has a very small case
do you have skype? it will be easier to chat back and fourth through there. again thanks for the help

sorry i don't use any of that. what you can do is open the case and measure the space available. measure from the slot to the edge of the case and see how much height you have to work with. most of the time, the height of a card is listed in the specs page. looking at the card though, it is much shorter than the slot height itself. i would assume the case can't get too much lower and still have the standard slot height for the outputs.
the case is 3.9" wide which is pretty much the slot height, so you should have at least 3.6" or so to work with inside the case. but measure to be sure.

nice catch!!!
i am not sure how i missed that card. did not filter with low profile cards but as a single slot card. that is a lot better than a 740 and should not use too much more power.go with that one for $30 less and better than the one i linked to!!

wow!! that's crammed near the top of the case. looks like it would bump into the curled rail for the side to attach to first. the video helps a lot for me to picture the inside of the case for you.
the 750ti pete pointed out (thanks again) is 2 3/4" tall. so just be sure there is that much height available before you hit that curled rail, which it should have by a good 1/2" or more. measure from the top of the pcie slot.

you should be good for the height of the card. it is about 1.5" wide based on msi site. https://us.msi.com/Graphics-card/N750-Ti-2GD5TLP.html#hero-specification says it is 38mm wide which is dead on 1.5". it looks like the fans will be sticking toward the edge of the case and not pointed inward so you'll want that 1.5" to be from the slot to the side of the case for it to fit.

if you don't mind the fans sticking out, no reason you can't probably help keep the case cooler since the heat will be leaving the case directly through that hole.
cutting into the case is not a problem, if you don't mind how it looks.

i am also worried about it bumping into the back of the case, could I cut that out to?

which part are you considering the back of the case? with the outputs? that part should stick out some so the outputs can be accessed. it should not bump into anything else but the top of the case it is too close to.
but you can cut away anything you need to so long as it does not interfere with other parts.

Just a quick question, does the cable from your monitor use either DVI or HDMI? Because if it uses VGA there is a problem. Low profile cards come with 1 full length bracket and 2 short low profile brackets. The full length bracket has all 3 display outputs, where as the low profile only have HDMI and DVI on the 1st bracket, so a 2nd is used for the VGA, but you don't have room for it.
