I do, in fact, mean a Radeon 7750, and yes, it would work just fine. It's not like a graphics card is going to say it can't work because you don't have enough RAM, and as for the power draw, well... you aren't going to find anything that's GOT a lighter power draw than a 7750.
I would recommend you pick one up and try it - if it doesn't work, then it doesn't work, but any other option is going to be old enough that it'll be rare, which means it will be very, expensive... and will perform way worse anyways.
[strike]Actually, the computer will crash because I don't have enough RAM for the graphics card.[/strike]
[strike]And by the way, my computer has an integrated graphics card, look up Inspiron 531s.[/strike]
"I would recommend you pick one up and try it - if it doesn't work, then it doesn't work", [strike]I'm not rich. And If it doesn't work, I would waste my money, losing money.[/strike]

Listen, I'm trying to help - there's no need to get snobby. No, your computer won't crash - the graphics card has nothing to do with RAM, a 7750 will work perfectly. (Why would they make prebuilts with 2GB of ram and a 7750 if that weren't the case?)
As for your computer having integrated graphics, uhm... what does that have to do with what we're talking about?
...There is this process you may have heard of called 'returning something.' It's pretty easy - all that would happen is you would be down the cost of shipping, which is about $5, depending on where you live.

Even though it's "recommended" minimum power draw is more than that of a 240, the 7750 will draw much less power and put much less strain on your system.
It's also less than half the price and more than double the performance of that thing you linked.

No worries.
Trust me, you'll be fine - I'm not sure where you're getting the 4GB system ram from, but you don't have to worry about it.
As for the 400w power supply, they're counting really crappy OEM power supplies - they're covering their own asses; I've seen 7750s run on 200w power supplies.
As for low profile cards, there are plenty of low profile 7750s: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202002
*(That's one of the best ones.)
