Hi all, My son's PC is a Stone BOAMOT-499 slim tower case which comes with the following: * ASUS PRIME H310M-R R2.0 Micro ATX form factor * Intel Core i3-9100 @3.60Ghz * 8GB memory * Intel UHD Graphics 630 https://kb.stonegroup.co.uk/index.php?View=entry&EntryID=723 As my son is getting more and more into gaming, I need to upgrade to a decent graphic card. But the issue is low profile case. Can anyone recommend me a decent graphic card that is better than the in-built graphic and fit in this case? Thanks,
If it is low profile only then you will need to find a low profile card. The only card I can think of is the 1030, but recently Nvidia hamstrung it by removing the GDDR it had and replacing it with the equivalent of a chewed toffee. As such you may need to re-case the computer and possibly buy a new PSU also.

Seems to me a bigger case, PSU and second hand graphics would provide better value. edit : seems you can get a 1650 low profile too, but even sillier money if anywhere has it. (needs 6 pin power too and I think you'll have a low spec PSU in the PC that may not have PCIe connectors ?)
Failing an affordable GTX 1650LP, see if you can find a GTX 1050Ti LP, It shouldn't need extra power.
What is your budget? And what games does your son mainly play? As others have said, buy a new case doesn't have to cost the earth for a half decent mATX case and then you are not limited to the low profile market which is tiny. Then you can sit down and look how much 'normal' graphics cards cost. I advise you to sit down as if you are standing up when you look, you may collapse.
