The card will need a full size bracket to fit in a fully size case. There's a chance your card comes with both a full size and low profile bracket, but there's also a good chance it doesn't. Check the product listing.

A 5450 at 1024x768 resolution? It will play
them at low settings at that resolution.
For games its a crappy card, sorry.
