A tough one... Can you help.

I know it doesn't pertain to vista, but you guys were very helpful before so I will ask for any input here again.

My GF was conned by the Best Buy salesman to drop $600+ on the HP slimline s3200n, 1 gb ram, Vista 32, on board video, 130 watt PSU (right now you are saying, "What the hell is worth $600+ there", well me too!)

I have put in 4 gb ddr2 pc6400 ram (that will probably over heat due to the tiny case), and now I need some input on the following.

I need a low profile video card, with the smaller bracket (to fit in the tiny case), that can run with a 130 watt psu. This is going to be a WoW machine, so it doesnt need to be some 9800 GTX blow your face away, just something to get away from the on board video.

Thanks.

I have never heard of a PC with a 130w PSU, but then again, I am no PC guru.

I just googled your desktop and found this:

I would be very weary as to how much money I want to spend on it, more so if you are expecting to use it as a gaming rig.

How many fans does the case comes with?
