Hey Guys! I'm trying to build a $120 Gaming pc. I decided to use a prebuilt $80 Dell OptiPlex 780 with a Intel Core 2 Quad (Q6600 of higher) and 4-8 gb of ram. I need to find a 1 slot graphics card because of the pcie slot location. I only have $40 left in my budget. I am looking for a GPU that can run Scrap mechanic, Rocket League,CS-Go (and other first person shooter games). I was hoping to be able to run Rocket league with a average of 50 FPS. I saw someone used a FirePro  V5800 ,but that world push me over my limit.      Thanks

single slot cards are rare if you dont mod them with either older coolers and run them sortof hot or you water cool them in some way

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

The best single slot gpu righr now is a 750ti, but they are rare

 

I assume it is bacaise you have a btx motherboard, if so then if it is a parallel connector in the way you can take a dremel to it and chop the connector off.

It would alright for low 1080p games, or medium 720p, The gddr5 version is faster then the ddr3 version, but will be better then the firepro card.

yes but it wont be a good card, expect low settings in games and then be happy if you can get decent fps at settings above that
