wanting to upgrade a s5-1114 slimline desktop graphics card

I am looking to upgrade my graphics card in order to play SWTOR in which i need ATi x1800, nVidia 7800, intel 4100

 

i have a s5-1114 Slimline

which has one PCI Express x16

and a 220 W power supply 

 

i have been told by a friend that i can use a V2.0 PCI Express x16 graphics card, is this correct?

 

What graphics card would you recommend i have $150 to spend on a new card

Please use plain text.

Hi,

 

Look here at HP Partsurfer for video cards that are used in the newer Slimline models with a 220 watt power supply.  These cards were manufactured specially for HP Slimline PCs with 220 watt power supplies.

 

Note: The Slimline PC is not a gaming PC and the video cards referenced above will not perform well with most higher end modern PC games.
