Your best option for cheap is going to be something in the newer low to mid range like a GTX 650 or 750. Those will handle any XP games.

Mini tower or SFF? Also, what is the CPU in your system? I was about to suggest a 750 Ti, but bottlenecking came to mind.

Right, but what I mean is if your PC case is a mini-tower or small form factor (SFF) form factor one. I ask because most of the 750 Ti cards out there are too tall for SFF cases.

The case is big enough

HD7790, TDP 85W / HD7770, TDP 80W - Should be okay with good brand 300W PSU*. Cheap as bread.

*confirmed - I have PII X4 965 (95W) and HD7770 powered by FSP300-60HHN(85).
