Need recommendation for low profile video card to play a few games

[thestrangebrew1]

I'm currently playing 7 Days to Die which requires the following min specs:

CPU: 2.4 GHz Dual Core CPU
CPU Speed: Info
RAM: 4 GB
OS: Windows XP (Service Pack 3)
Video Card: Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX or ATI Radeon HD 4770
Sound Card: Yes
Free Disk Space: 1 GB

And Stranded Deep which requires the following:

CPU: Info
CPU Speed: 1.8GHz Intel dual-core and above
RAM: 2 GB
OS: Windows Vista or higher
Video Card: Intel HD 5000 with minimum 512MB VRAM
Free Disk Space: 1 GB

I play these games on my desktop pc but I'm going out of town for work for 4 nights and would like to play them on a slim Foxconn build that's currently sitting here doing nothing that I plan on taking with me (I don't have a laptop).

I can't remember the specs on the slim box but I'm pretty sure it's got 4GB DDR3, Intel Pentium g850 and a Silverstone 300w psu. I built the box primarily as an htpc build, so a low profile card will still have use once I hook it up to another tv in the future. I'd like to keep it under $100, cheaper if I could, specifically to just play these games as it won't see any other games on it in the future most likely. I'll be buying it from Best Buy as I'm leaving tomorrow and won't have time for shipping. Thanks.

Does it need to be single slot?

What case do you have?

My first thought is an HD7750.

Yea it needs to be single slot. I don't know the model of the case other than I bought a barebones foxconn kit about 2-3 years ago. It's pretty small.

I was thinking of just going with this:

My monitor is 19" 1280x1020. What do you think?

Ugh, that's so terrible for 90$...the big problem too is that aint single slot.
I did a quick look and I see this GT730 for $60:

It's equally terrible but a third cheaper and single slot.

Thanks ER. Picked this card up and worked perfectly for my business trip!

Your welcome, and that's good to hear.

I'm always disappointed by what I see in the sub $100 GPU market.
I feel like by now we should have R7 250x/GTX 750 performance around $50 retail.
