You should be fine with that. After looking up the power consumption of the 4650 and the 7770, I can tell you the 7770 uses MUCH less power. Here's some benchmarks.

Sounds like the best choice for you is a Radeon 7770. As long as you have a strong enough of a PSU to handle its light load, you should be good to go.
