What’s the best graphic card I can buy for under $100 that fits my computer?

I need a graphic card that can fit my computer. I was hoping to buy:

But I’m scared it won’t fit and that would really suck because that’s an AMAZING budget card if I want to spend $60.00 or less. But yea, will that card fit? If not, is there a different card I can get for under $100.00 which is better than my current integrated geforce 6150 nforce 430, I mean MUCH better. I want to play most modern games with smooth FPS on low or medium. I read reviews that the card I listed above plays modern warfare on high smoothly but I don’t know. THANKS

Here’s my computer:

Well the big question is whether your computer is a regular minitower or slimline?

The 9500GT fits any regular minitower but it’s kinda slow. Both the Radeon 4650 and GeForce GT220 cost about the same and are faster.

If your computer is a slimline which can only accept low-profile cards, your best option would be the Radeon 5570:

If your computer is a regular minitower, you can install a GeForce GT240, which is slightly better:

Here’s how the entry-level and low-midrange cards compare:

    Slimline upgrading is next to impossible. The 220 watt non-upgradable power supply probably won”t be enough to power a low-end graphics card.

    I recommend Sapphire Radeon HD 5570 – 1 GB DDR3 DP/DVI-I/VGA PCI-Express Graphics Card 100293DP http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0036ORMYO?ie=UTF8&tag=digitsy-marina-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0036ORMYO
