Hi all, Trying to upgrade cause my 6450 is not doing well.

Well it's the stock 460w. Do you really need the model number? Just asking I don't mind getting it for you.

You should be fine to run any single 6pin PCIe plug. 7850, 650TI, 270 (?), The Dell XPS PSUs aren't total junk so any sub 150W GPU should work ok. And will be a big step up from the 6450.

^What he said.
And no I don't need model no. My mistake I guess. I wanted to know the wattage.
You can go ahead and get 7850. Just make sure that your PSU is of good quality.
