http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814187063

That's the graphics card hopefully that will fit this tiny HP. I just need to know if it will fit it.

and I would greatly appricate it if anyone would have suggestions about a better one my price range is about $100 mabye $120.

Here is my computer it's a smaller one capared to my old gameing rig my Tsunami Dream.

That HP appears to take "half height" add in cards.

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01765809.pdf page 56

That card on Newegg has 2 adapter plates so you can fit it in your HP, but it looks like you will have to use 2 slot openings in the back of your HP if you want both Dsub and DVI connectors available for use.

I know they have just one opening for either the DVI or the VGA but can I just put the slot that I want for the DVI and not use the vga or do I have to buy a two slot cover????

Both DVI and VGA cannot be fit into the half height card slot, when you put it in yours you will use one of the short brackets in the kit to replace the full height bracket that comes on the card, this will give you DVI for that one slot, you can then unplug the VGA connector from the card, if you wanted the VGA also, there is another short bracket for it but would require the slot next to the video card be empty, using that slot opening in the case for the VGA.
