GFX Card for Optiplex 745

Hi, I recently bought a Dell Optiplex 745. Everything in it is original except the hard drive had been upgraded before purchasing the tower. It's a decent little computer and definitely worth the price I paid, I just need to upgrade the GFX so I can get gaming (not looking to play Crysis maxed out, just HL2DM and other Source games) What will fit in this tower? I'm pretty sure I need a low-profile card, but I've read that some low-profile's still won't fit with the fan in an Optiplex 745. I believe the XFX Radeon 7750 will work, but I want to be positive before buying. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
 
The slim ones use normal low profile cards. If not sure about cooler clearance, then just make sure the graphics card you choose does not intrude outside the specified space. For instance this card has a cooler that would intrude into the next slot (look at second pic of the bracket view to see cooler extending out). This card does not have that issue.
