Best solution
Your PSU is quite weak, your CPU consumes 65W TDP, HD 6570 has 50W TDP, including other components about 60W, the total will be 175W, but since your PSU has 80% efficiency (or lower) so it provides only 190W output, it's on the edge and imho it may be dangerous.
I suggest buying a new case, a new PSU and get a better gfx if your budget allows, then move all the components to your new home. What do u think?
p.s Could u show us the picture of your PSU? the label helps us analyse the quality of the PSU.

Your power supply will support this card, why, because your power supply can support even stronger one SAPPHIRE 100357LP Radeon HD 7750 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Other Thoughts: - Yes, it works with the skimpiest of psu's. It doesn't get much lower then 165w.
So, if 7750 is enough for you - I recommend to stop here.
Upgrading to new case is beneficial if you are planning to spend more than $200 and ready for headaches.
So, what is your choice?
Anything else I can help you with?

Err... no... it will not work on his PSU. It works on that guy's PSU because cards do not use up what the requirements suggest. The rest of his PC is probably either all garbage parts that do not use much watts, or by now is PC is destroyed because he was too cheap to spend 20 dollars on a 400 Watt power supply.
Don't try to influence people to break their PCs. OP sounds like a kid, so I'm sure his parents will be mad and never let him touch a PC ever again once he breaks it.

Just one more thing, for you this time.
PCIE supplies 75 watt of power MAX, this card is uses 55 watt http://www.hwcompare.com/11734/radeon-hd-6670-oem-vs-ra...
Also, check this card around and tell me where you are planning to plug more power - there is no additional power connector, so just do your homework prior to discouraging users here, please.
Sapphire 7750 LP was reported working on many Slim and Small Form Factor Dells, I did not see any complains here or on Dell Community Forums...
If you have any proof for failed PCs in the same situation - provide please.

165W PSU can work w/ his rig 'cause maybe his rigs won't reach the designed TDP (e.g he does some casual gaming like Plants VS Zombie or stuffs like that and his rig isn't fully loaded), but overall this is dangerous imho 'cause it's like walking on a thin line like the circus does. The poster may be fine when first pluging his HD 7750 into his rig and it works but when he goes for gaming like Crysis 3 or FC3 the rig will be in full load, the first couple of months he may be fine but as the PSU continuously in full load it will gradually wearing out and therefore can't maintain 80% efficiency, once the peak load over the rig's sustainability the PSU will burn out

Or changing case - in this situation front panel proprietary connector would be your headache, it was for me.
If you have money to spend for good GPU - go for case change, if you are trying to save every cent, consider 7750.

Thats great, encourage him to do things that will most likely not make his machine run correctly. Not enough power will result in frequent shutdowns and stuttering. AMD has a minimum of 400w listed for that card. Will less run it, yes, but everything you push the card over like 50%, you will have problems.

Hi - There are differing opinions on whether you can add a GPU, I would add that altho
neither of these cards are recommended with your PSU, and I wouldn't stress a low
power PSU myself, you most likely can run a lp7750 if you can afford it. It outperforms
a 6570 and uses a little less power.
Just be aware that there are games(metro 2033 for one) that this card has needed(tot Sys) >200w(216)
Personally, I wouldn't do it as I believe you should have at least 4 +12v(50w) amps spare headroom and
a game that pulls like the one above or others even more power hungry, are likely to
drive your PSU beyond it's limits.

Also, the link you provided talks of a low profile card which is not only smaller but usually requires less power. Have you read the whole post? I guess not - flameboy298 has Inspiron 660s, where s stands for Slim, so the provided by me 7750 is actually low profile.
For the rest of the users take a look here http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/390010-33-dell-inspir... scroll down for confirmations.
Anything else I can help you with?

That card still asks for 300w, more than he has. Simply put, computers are not cheap, sometimes you have to buy a part at a time. As states before, start with a case and a PSU, then upgrade from there. Show me the proof of failed 7750 in this PC, until this time all what you are saying is just an educated guess.
Graphic card manufacturers always overstate power requirements.
Have you read last link?

There is no proof in that ink what so ever of it working. All it says is for him to try and if it works good if not oh well.I really see no point of talking here, because you just don't see the information

Note that those 2 users above are not OP, but using their experience to contribute to the thread.
Show me at least one post where it is says that 7750 is not working....
Until it happens I rest my case.
