That system comes with a power supply that has a Output Wattage: 305W maximum continuous.

The EVGA 7900GT requires:

Minimum of a 400 Watt power supply.
(Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 20 Amp Amps.)
Minimum 500 Watt for SLI mode system.
(Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 28 Amp Amps.)

The bold above is the key: Amperages not wattage.

Your motherboard has the following:

2 PCI slots
1 PCIe x 1 slot
1 PCIe x 16 (graphics) slot

So yes that card would fit, but may not work.

Dell Power Supplies are proprietary

This card will work well with your existing system:
