HP Compaq Small Form Factor DC7800S - update video card

I recently bought a HP Compaq refurbished and I am very interested in upgrading its video card. I have Google had read many forums about this issue, and from what I understand, the main problem is the power supply and space overall.

Currently, it has a 'Intel(r) Q35 Express Chipset Family'. After reading some of the forums here, this looks like a profile low "AMD Radeon 6450" will suffice as a decent upgrade. I found the price of one and for a very good deal. Will it work? I'll have to upgrade the power supply, because there only a maximum of 240. Any suggestions on those?

As you can probably, I'm not too good sense when it comes to computers and I have yet to try my hand at what it is related to the installation of the equipment. But, any help or information at all will be greatly appreciated! Here are a few other features, if it'll help.

You began by mentioning the 6450, then bound the 5450.    The 5450 is actually a little better and 19W. . I read on the link provided and also read in the links/cross-links provided. Seems DC7800 DC8200 share the same block of power SUPPLY 240 w and have had success with the HD6450 (31W).
