So a friend has issues playing most modern games since his Dell Studio XPS 435, which can be seen here.

It currently has a HD5450 card and a 475-watt power supply.
What would be a nice safe upgrade? I was going to try a 6950 but I think it'd pull to much power, so the 7850 came to mind since it pulls a little less but gives a solid boost in performance.
He doesn't mind giving the GFX card a run and if it doesn't work out we'll begin a rebuild.
Pretty sure it has an i7 920 at 2.67GHz. I would like to OC it a bit for him but probably won't unless I can maintain stock voltage for obvious reasons.
Thanks everyone
