I need to upgrade my video card. I've been looking at the HIS radeon HD 3850 PCIE, but am not sure if it will fit my computer. I have a Dell Dimension C521, small, slim... Dell Dimension C521

I currently have a ATI Radeon 1300Pro, it sucks. Any suggestions or information on what i need to look for to fit this computer? I want a good card for gaming, but dont want to pay much more than $150...

You have two options. You could look for a half-height or low-profile card or buy a full size case and a full size card. My old PC could only support a half height AGP card, and the best I could get was an nVida 6200. Half-height cards can be hard to find, so if you're looking to game you may want to consider buying a regular full size case. However it looks like they make that card in a half-height configuration.
