You need a low profile card. Probably not a high end one as it doesn't look like you have much room, but you should open up the case and see how long of a card you can fit in there.

Your power supply could also be an issue for "high end" low profile cards, since the 7750 processor is not too efficient.

If you're just looking to run SCII, this should do: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...file_pci_express_video-_-14-102-829-_-Product

But there are some more expensive and faster cards.

I would look into a 5570, I know they come low profile and they out perform the 4650 while consuming less power. They are a litlte more expensive, but worth it over a 4650 in my opinion.
