What video card would work with my computer?

http://www.amazon.com/s/qid=1283785468/ref=sr_st?keywords=pcie&page=1&rh=n%3A172282%2Cn%3A!493964%2Cn%3A541966%2Cn%3A193870011%2Cn%3A284822%2Ck%3Apcie&sort=price



Just an example of a site, although I'd prefer any site with FREE shipping to CANADA..



Is there any video cards there that my PC could handle?

PC DETAILS -

Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard Company

Model: s5213w

Name: HP Pavilion Slimline s5213w

Rating: 3.2

Processor: AMD Sempron(tm) Processor LE-1250 2.20 GHz

Installed memory(RAM): 4.00 GB (3.87 GB usable)

System Type: 64-bit Operating System





Also, any other upgrades? I know it can't handle much, but a little of anything would help.|||That slimline comes with a very weak power supply (just 220 watts)

So the Radeon 5450 is your best option.

Anything faster probably wouldn't work with your factory psu. See total power consumption below:

If you upgraded the power supply to 270 watts (replacements psus do exist, they're just expensive), you could run faster low-profile cards, such as the Radeon 4650 and 5550:

However I don't think upgrading the power supply is worthwhile for a machine like this, because the CPU is so slow.|||I would definately suggest XFX ATI Radeon HD 4650 512 MB DDR2 PCI-Express Graphics Card HD465XYAF2

*512MB Memory

*Unified Superscalar Shader Architecture

*Features Stream Processing Units

*DirectX 10.1 Support
