On an SFF system with a 220w PSU your video card options are going to be rather limited.

Here are some recommendations:
ECS NGT430C-1GQR-F GeForce GT 430 = $57 ($37 after rebate)
ASUS ENGT430/DI/1GD3(LP) GeForce GT 430 = $60


A Geforce 430 is about the max you can go with that PSU. Make sure that any card you get has a fan since that SFF case gets pretty hot and doesn't have great airflow so a fan less card will likely bake in there.

The only cards that will fit in a eMachines EL1210-09 Desktop PC are single slot low profile cards. That severely minimizes the selection of cards to choose from.

newegg search for a low profile card. Sadly I couldn't filter out the cards that use two slots.

Unfortunately the case was not designed with gaming cards in mind. Current cards rated for gaming are usually full height dual slot cards.
