Hello,

I'm trying to help out my girlfriend in upgrading her 530s' graphics, though the 250W PSU is an issue, obviously.

so far we've looked at an 8600gts

if anyone has some suggestions, or a few options, it'd be much appreciated.

not only does the card need to be a match for her PSU but it also needs to be a low profile card for her slim line case.

try the 4650 low profile
