If it is a small form factor like this one http://www.emachines.com/products/products.html?prod=EL1850-01e you will need a low profile card. The power of the card is going to be based on the size of the PSU which is not listed on their site and neither is if it has a PCIe x 16 slot. Here is a possible candidate http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127481

Acer/Gateway/eMachines desktops have horrible PSUs, they make HP/Dell ones look good. Why do you need a GPU anyways? For games, Id say spend more on a new build.

I wouldn't suggest that 5570, PCIe 2.1 may not work with his board.
For HD playback a 4350 would be nice: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102817&cm_re=4350-_-14-102-817-_-Product

Though this 9500GT would be alright also as its only $35AR: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150392&cm_re=9500GT-_-14-150-392-_-Product

This $40 4650 is another option: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102829&cm_re=4650-_-14-102-829-_-Product
