I think a HD7790 will be perfect for you. What's the brand and amperage on the 12v line of your psu? Because if it's a cheap one you might wanna think about swapping it before it turns your computer into a paper weight.

PSUs that came along with Dell desktops are often good ones from good OEM companies.

I know, but i've heard of some dells with crappy psu's, so was just asking to be sure
Seemed good on that site but then actual Newegg price is 20$ higher. The cheapest 7850 currently costs 173$, thou. As for game bonus, many people are selling them around 15$ only.

Well that 7850 is a really good deal with all the games included it only costs you about 40$ .
But i don't think your psu is going to like that to be honest.
Maybe Madn3ss knows better
HD7850 actually uses less power than 650ti boost under full load
Thanks to both of you for your assistance. I just received my brand new ASUS 7850 and it all seems to work PERFECTLY. I ran a few plan sheets through Bluebeam and loaded mechwarrior online up and this card is amazing... Going from a 6450 to 7850 is a HUGE upgrade!
How do I use the HDMI? Currently I'm connected via HDMI to VGA to my monitor but wondering if HDMI would be better? Should I ask in another post maybe?
HDMI gives you sound along with images ( the monitor you use to connect the HDMI cable must have built-in speakers, of course ).
So I went out and bought an HDMI cable. Do I turn the PC off, disconnect the DVI and connect the HDMI or do I need to do something special in the settings of the card?
