You would be much better off with the HD 6450 not the HD 5450.  I use the HD 6450 in the 745 SFF.  HERE is one to look at.

I know you have the tower, but it does not matter.  HERE is the HD 6450 or HERE.  It is just that sometimes the HD 5450 has not worked on some systems where the HD 6450 has worked.

Hi kellbear thank just to confirm that the 1gig should be ok in the machine for light use ie photoshop few movies and general web surfing
