15 minutes... You're quite the patient one, huh?

Seriously though, I wouldn't recommend using a GT 440 in that computer. Maybe a Radeon 7750 would be fine, but the GT 440 would use considerably more power than the Radeon 7750 despite being a much slower card (it is several years older, so it's to be expected). If you cant afford a 7770, then I wouldn't go past a Radeon 5570 or a GT 430.

The GT 440 doesn't use a lot of power, but having just looked up your computer, I can say that your PSU is almost definitely too weak even for a GT 440. Honestly, I'm not sure if it is wise of me to suggest the Radeon 7750, 5570, or GT 430 given how weak that PSU is. If possible, you should upgrade it, but slim PCs can have difficult to upgrade PSUs...
