Please help with graphics card upgrade, Dell Inspirion 560.

[Psychosious]

I am trying to upgrade my PC to play Guild Wars 2. I should also state upgrading components is a new venture for me, so any other elements I forgot to include can be if necessary.

I have a Dell Inspirion 560 with dual core CPU e5800 @3.20GHz, 3.00 GB ram. I purchased an Antec BP550 Plus 550W Continuous Power ATX12V V2.2 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply that I plan to attach to my PC. I also purchased an ASUS GT630-2GD3 GeForce GT 630 2GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card.

My problem is that after scanning through many threads after my purchase, I found some stating I need a low profile card for my system. I am also unsure on the specific type of card I should get, DDR3, PCI 2, all of these specifications seem to confuse me as I cannot find a list that states your computer simply needs this specific type of part anywhere?

Can anybody tell me a few recommendations for a new Graphics card in order to play Guild Wars 2 on my PC?
I am willing to spend up to $100 on the GPU itself.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a better one i think ; http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130625 Also no 2.1 vs 1.0 hassle.

That EVGA is not low profile,and it takes up two slots,so it's not even single slot.

Did you take a look at the case ? I see no reason for a low profile card. Because the OP read somewhere he needs one doesn't mean that's true.

The low profile advice is probably because of the original crappy psu ; he changed to a decent one.

But if you insist on one slot : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125409

Wtf is happening with those links. What's that stupid doing there ???

It does look pretty cramped. http://www.pcdistrict.com/modules/productcatalog/product_images/123684-dell-inspiron-560s-4335.jpg
A slim cooler, or atleast a single slot would be sensible. Nice card pick.
