Hello!
I will try to be thorough in explaining my situation. I have an HP Slimline s5514y (http://tinyurl.com/m9dgkpb) and I am going to upgrade my GPU to an Asus Radeon HD 7750 (http://tinyurl.com/ll7t7eh). I have on slight problem with the PSU as it only has a max usage of 220 watts. Here is the sticker on the PSU for reference of all the specifications (http://imgur.com/9hROcxG). I have been looking into finding some PSU's and I might've found some but I am not exactly sure. I want to be on the safe side of things and at the least have 300w available. Most say the 7750 only sips power but I don't think that 220w will be enough. Some PSU's that I have found include (http://tinyurl.com/n6kjg5r, http://tinyurl.com/l2bc4nb, http://tinyurl.com/mw37587, http://tinyurl.com/mkbyvyu); but I am not exactly sure if they will work because I do know the HP PSU's have their unique connectors. I am also trying to save on money obviously, I want to stay under 40 or 50 but if I have to go over that'll be fine. If anyone could give my any suggestions or comments that would be appreciated. If you want to know anything else feel free to ask. Thanks and have a great day.

First of all, if you have a slimline case, then you need a low profile version of the 7750. The Asus card you linked will not fit. Here is a low profile 7750:

Second, your current 220W PSU will power the card just fine. I run that exact card on a 150W PSU without any issues.
