    Question HP Pavilion Slimline s3720y - Which graphics card for bluray?

     
    Hello,

    I'm a complete novice when it comes to the innards of a PC. (I've replaced RAM and a DVD drive before, and that's it, if that tells you anything.) I'd like to upgrade the graphics card on my PC so I can play blurays on it. Any ideas? Someone on another board mentioned the ATI HD5570, but that definitely does not look like it'd fit the back panel of this slimline pos. All it currently has room for is the analog rgb port. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks!

    You're going to be looking for a card that is low profile ready and that runs on fairly low power. Something like this card should be just fine for what you need.

    Newegg.com - XFX HD-645X-YNH2 Radeon HD 6450 512MB 32-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card

    or something with a bit more power that should still work in that system

    Newegg.com - ZOTAC ZT-50604-10L GeForce GT 520 (Fermi) 1GB 64-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card

    Err I guess the 6450 would actually be the better card.
