I'm looking for an inexpensive (Under $100) low profile/single slot card that isn't the gtx 750ti LP as that one is too expensive for me (Same for the 1050ti LP). What would be the second best option in terms of performance? I've been looking into LP cards and the best I've seen is an r7 250 https://www.amazon.com/Radeon-128-Bit-Graphics-Cards-R7250-2GD5/dp/B01F3QEZ1U/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1485826780&sr=1-1&keywords=r7+250.

How inexpensive are you looking for.
The cheapest card on the market that I would say is worth your money is going to be this > https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814137058&cm_re=gtx_1050-_-14-137-058-_-Product for just over a hundred dollars.
Generally speaking low performance cards are really bad in terms of their value, and just aren't worth the money. What exactly is your budget, and what kind of use are you looking to get out of the card?

What is your cpu and motherboard?
Integrated graphics is fine for desktop work.
If you want a discrete card for better gaming, then probably a GT730 64 bit is probably the least you should consider.
This card, for example comes with a pair of low profile brackets:

I *used* to say this one:

IF you needed to be both single-slot height overall (including the heatsink/fan) AND low profile. But apparently that's recently gotten absolutely ridiculous in price. It used to be in the $80-$100 range. I got it because I needed low profile AND the cooler being only single-slot-height. The tall coolers on the low-profile 750s knocked them out of the running for me.
But I do agree with the other posters. If your current CPU has the built-in graphics (HD 530 or Iris Pro 6200), then it's not worth getting a discrete card in that price/performance range.

Unfortunately that 1050 most likely won't fit into this
http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=c03355381 pc. My budget is at around $90 for a low profile card that I'll use for some esports and something that will be able to run fallout 4, with lowest settings and fps tweaks of course.
This is the best card I could find https://www.amazon.com/Radeon-128-Bit-Graphics-Cards-R7250-2GD5/dp/B01F3QEZ1U/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1485826780&sr=1-1&keywords=r7+250 but I'm wondering if there's a better card that is also single slot (that isn't the 750/1050ti).

Tom's gpu hierarchy list will give you an approximate ranking.
R7-250 will be an upgrade, but really not very satisfactory.
Those with GDDR5 ram are a touch faster.
GT730 64bit gddr5 will be comparable. to R7-250.
Strangely, the 64 bit versions are much faster than the 128 bit versions, they have more CUDA cores.
The card you linked is not low profile.

This is the best I think there is for the price: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KK8MEU6/?tag=pcpapi-20
Give it a quick look

I think not.
Here is a comparison of standard and low profile cards
https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.shopify.com%2Fs%2Ffiles%2F1%2F0228%2F2129%2Fproducts%2FLowProfileConfiguration.jpg%3Fv%3D1367572563&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dionnelee.com%2Fc8740a-low-profile-bracket-kit-quick-shopping&docid=D03Fc6cooDHMJM&tbnid=ikR3snI4KQinxM%3A&vet=1&w=453&h=457&bih=1157&biw=1568&q=low%20profile%20bracket&ved=0ahUKEwjbjPCDxuvRAhVIZCYKHX-GDfkQMwhIKAowCg&iact=mrc&uact=8
Also, there is a distinction between low profile and low profile ready.
The ready cards may or may not include some sort of a low profile adapter.
Best you see what you will buy yourself beforehand.
Well, on the plus side, the motherboard positions the PCIe 16 slot normally. So you can use low-profile cards that are double-height. That does open up options a little.
Out of curiosity, any particular reason you're opposed to the 750?

Ah, price-creep. Yeah. I didn't realize they'd gone that high. 1050 cards can be had for about that price.
Judging by the HP link you provided, it *looks* like a taller cooler won't be much of a problem for you. Your case obviously necessitates the low profile.
You *might* consider a used card, but that comes with its own risks.

Quick question, under any circumstance can the gt 730 ddr5 version use more than 1 gb of vram? I'm going to get one soon and I was wondering if its worth the extra $4. For example, will running old games at high settings put the vram usage over 1 GB?
I'm not sure in what specific circumstance the additional vram is an advantage.
HOWEVER - if it's a case where the 2gb version is using ddr3 instead of gddr5, then everything I've read says to stick with the faster gddr5 one, even if it has less memory.
