ASUS PC, upgrading video card.?

Hey all! I have a interesting computer question.



I purchased an ASUS Essentio Desktop, CG5270-BP004. It has an integrated



You can google the model number, or check here:

Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X4500.



I will only be using the PC for internet, burning DVDs, possible upgrade to Blu-Ray RW,

Dual Monitor setup (current integrated card supports this now), Photoshop, Wi-Fi,

multi-tasking, heavy audio, and dual boot with Ubuntu (possibly). Absolutely, no gaming.

Its running with one 23 inch LG 1080p monitor. Soon to be dual monitors.



The PC has PCI slots (you can double check the specs).



So, with that being said, which video card do you recommend after reviewing my question?

I want it to have HDMI, DVI. Dual HDMI if possible (preferably).|||if your not going to use it for gaming i wouldnt even bother upgrading the video card....lol. waste of money unless ur gonna game it up.|||It has a 400 watt power supply.

Requires 400 watt or greater power supply



It has a ASUS P5QPL-VM EPU motherboard, although it has a different BIOS from the retail boxed motherboard.

The Gigabyte HD 4670 card listed above has one HDMI port and one DVI port.
