Hello All, I am finally looking to get a decent enough graphics card for myself. My system is a mini-ITX in an Antec ISK-300-150.

ASRock Z68M-ITX/HT
i52500K
2x4GB Ripjaws
3x 120GB SSD's in RAID-0

The PSU will a Flex-ATX 350W which I will transplant into my current PSU enclosure to get the benefit of an 80mm fan. I tried looking but its a bit confusing.

From my reading, AMD's are the way to go but don't know which ones are the best bang for the buck.
 
i have a nvidia 440. it's a half card that dosen't require a dedicated connection to the PSU, so it should fit. it's quiet and cook, performs well enough
 
There are half height GTX 460s. I had one. Sadly some bozo put the PCI-E power connectors on the side, so I couldn't put the lid back on the case. They do make them with properly located power connectors though, so I imagine they probably make half height gtx 560s?
 
Why not try this one:

Seems good enough!

I just built a new comp for my gf with AMD new APU A6-3650 which comes with a HD 6530D. The 6530D is quite the little performer and I was really surprised.

So the 6570 should be a few notch better and could run some games depending on your resolution and amount of details you want to have.

Are you forgetting that you also need a single-slot card for that case? See pictures below:

The most powerful card that would fit in your case is an HD6570, such as the one Rhezuss linked above, or this one for a bit less money:

The GTX460 low-profile card, with its huge double-wide heatsink, obviously wouldn't fit.

Have you tried the onboard HD 3000 graphics and decided you need a low profile gaming card?

The integrated HD 3000 graphics w/ QuickSync is suppose to be much improved from previous Intel offerings.

Yep, i'd go with the Sapphire one. One of the best (if not the best) AMD partner out there.
