Anyone fine me a card?

[bigredshark]

I've decided I need a little bit of gaming potential again, so I need to upgrade my desktop from integrated graphics to some sort of decent card. All it'll likely be doing is playing CS:S at 1280x1024, so it shouldn't need to be too quick (I know my x800 once did the job just fine).

The problem is I need a low profile card, PCIE x16 slot I have but it's only low profile.

Is there anything which will meet my needs?

Thanks Guys!

OR

Can anybody tell me the chances of running CS:S at that resolution on GMA3100 graphics..

Im not a tech head, but my advice would be to get yourself an 8600GT.

+If you read some of the comments, people say it runs CS:S easily

Hope it helped

Thanks, I know that'd run it nicely. Trouble is I have a low profile desktop machine so the card can't really be any higher than this one...

Only that one doesn't come with a backplate which matches the height of the card. If I could use any old card I'd splash out on a high end ATI card as the money isn't an issue, just finding one which fits in my PC...

You would need to buy a backplate kit separately, xfx do a good kit
