What's the best graphics card I can get for my Dell Dimension c521
motherboard number OHY175 and my cpu is AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+
my current graphics card is integrated Nvidia GeForce 6150 LE.


Here's some CPU-Z & GPU-Z screen shots














*Note this for my nephew, I'm purchasing a new computer from Digital Storm
within a month, just wanted to update the gpu for him so run mild gaming.

The CPU upgrade is not doable because you have a Dell specialized motherboard. You could add a graphics card, but you need to upgrade your 200-250 Watt Power Supply Unit.

I was thinking between these

Radeon HD 6450

or


GeForce GT 430


http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500177



Not sure if these will work though, however they are low profile I'm
assuming the best I could get which would you get the GT 430 or HD 6450?
