2 X 18A +12V rails @ 264W. Yes, that will handle that card and the faster GTX 750 Ti.

Theoretically the 7750 seems to only require a 300W PSU, but your PSU is ever so very questionable in quality I wouldn't want to put much more load on it...

Basically, on paper yes, it should work. In reality, it could explode. Your choice. Spend $40 and get a much better PSU like this one here:

Also leaves more room for upgrades in the future.

That is a Dell branded PSU. It is not questionable quality. Not the best, but perfectly safe.

I'll take your word for it. This forum has pushed me to believe anything without a Corsair, EVGA, XFX or Seasonic logo on it will dramatically explode.

Some folks are overly cautious. A cheap PSU might indeed be a problem. But Dell has always been known for using good quality PSUs in their systems. In fact, they are usually slightly under-rated.

Yeah this, they often deliver more than their rating

Yes, but you would need a molex to PCIe adapter

im thinking of buying 7750. Would my processor bottleneck it so much or just a little bit? and will i be able to overclock the card on that psu?

I'd be a bit hesitant recommending that you use the HD 7770. Yes, the PSU will probably handle it. But it would not have much headroom left if the card was really loaded. Best to stay with the HD 7750 until you upgrade the PSU.
If you want a faster card than the HD 7750 or the HD 7770, check out the line of GTX 750 Ti cards; the ones that don't require a 6 pin connector. I had this one in a budget i3 rig: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
It will game at 1080p with the right processor.

2 amps difference between the 7750 and 7770.

750ti would be rather bottlenecked by the CPU, but if OP plans to upgrade in future it could be worth getting now :)

Your CPU will be fine for that card. Yes, you should have enough headroom for some light to medium OC'ing of the card. But why bother when the GTX 750/750 Ti is available?

Gtx 750 ti is more than my budget and 7750 is okay but i saw videos on youtube they said dual core will bottleneck the card and the game which can run in medium settings, would run at lower settings idk maybe i'll try 7750 in my processor :)  thanks for quick replies
