OK, let's see what our requirements are so far:
- 6770 or less in power, preferably something that doesn't require external power.
- Low-profile. I looked at the back of the computer in the Newegg images. It clearly accepts only low-profile cards.
- Single-slot, or PCIe x1. Another Newegg image of the computer shows its PCIe x16 slot is on the outside, so there's only a single slot's worth of room.
Now, all the PCIe x1 cards I see on Newegg are single-slot already, so that point is moot.
So, this leaves you two good options:
1. Any of a number of GT430s. Here's one that's pre-overclocked.
2. The only single-slot low-profile Radeon 6670 I could find. At $100 it's also the most expensive card on my list.
Given the choices, for the best gaming performance, I'd go with #2.
Edit: Or you could buy a new PC.
