[deverom]

Hello,
I just wan't to ask what is the best video card for a 220w PSU, low profile (Mini ITX)available in the market. thanks in advance

If you plan to game, then get a different case that fits full sized cards.
Though for everything else, a HD5450 is good,

my wife bought this package

I'm just planning to upgrade it soon. >.<

Would you mind giving a model o the Mobo, a pic would be even better.
Im not sure if it has a PCIe slot.

i think u can use an ati radeon 5570 or 5550 . both are 4-5 times faster than 5450 and uses only 39 - 40w under load.

i actually use an ati 5570 on a 250 w dell myself

Available Expansion Slots are:
1 PCI Express x1, 1 PCI Express x16
but must use a low profile card as the form factor is a mini itx, PSU is 220W

@ joemathew85
i'll try to research ur suggestion later once i get home.. >.<

**I'm planning to use this small rig for StarCraft II the only thing im missing is the graphics card ^_^

Then +1 on the HD5550/70.
Its probably the best cards your gonna get for the PSU.

Get only a low profile version. cos ur case being slim only lp will fit. most of them are lp
