I need a graphics card for my computer

I'm looking into buying a graphics card with will support HD with a 1080p HD screen (VGA and DVI). It needs to be a slim tower (also known as "low profile" right?) The screen I'm getting doesn't have an HDMI input but has both VGA and DVI inputs. So I want to buy a graphics card with will project a better quality to my HD screen using VGA and/or DVI. My price range is around $50-$80. And I need one for SLIM tower. I have a Dell Inspiron 530s. Will this one work? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150471&cm_re=HD_Graphics_Card-_-14-150-471-_-Product

I trust newegg & their huge database of reviews. Amazon is also a good place to find reviews before making a purchase.

RE: low-profile. There ought to be specs on the Dell site stating the size add-in cards that fit? You may want to give them a call. Keep in mind that while you may have a slot open- you are also going to be creating more heat. If it's possible, add a fan...those SFF cases get warm!

I never thought about the card adding heat but thanks for the thought. I'll keep an eye on that as well. :)

0	It should work fine but keep in mind that the 5450 is a low end card that will not handle much gaming. You will get full hardware acceleration with that card for 1080P content so you should be fine. answered Jul 20 '10 at 23:08 Razor512 15.6k●34●80●242
