Per the specs I linked, it has a 250 watt PSU. The GT 730 recommends at least a 300 watt PSU for the system. The HD5450/6450 both recommend at least a 400 watt PSU.

You should really be looking at a larger upgrade with a larger budget. What I would recommend is upgrading the processor, graphics card, and power supply. Unfortunately, the graphic cards that I would recommend for your budget upgrade would also require a power supply upgrade.
