If this is what your PC looks like inside: http://www.ctsestore.com/sites/default/files/styles/pic_wm/public/HP_DC7800_Tower_5.jpg
...you have problems. Due to the orientation of the motherboard (upside down), you are limited to a true single slot card.

EDIT: ignore the above. Wrong-headed thinking!

No, unfortunately single slot cards usually do not offer enough 'real estate' to put that kind of horsepower on. The card I linked to above is the fastest card I could find that meets your design requirements.

At one time, Galaxy offered a true single slot GTX 750 Ti. But I don't see it sold anywhere in the U.S. any more.

I'd have to see the ones you found to say for sure. Link?

Those will fit. I think I made a mistake. Looking closer at the picture of your motherboard, it appears they not only turned the board upside down from a conventional retail design, but they reversed the slots so that the card will extend downward instead of up. It is in fact, a BTX board.
Ignore what I said about needing a single-slot card

What do you think ?

Dell used more than one "365W" PSU in their builds. They didn't all have the same specs. It will depend on the nameplate of your PSU. If possible, take a photo of it and post it. But it would have to be a real piece of junk not to run the 60W GTX 750 Ti.

+12V rails rated at 12A and 14.5A. Small for a 365W PSU, but sufficient for the GTX 750 Ti.

I would, yes. The card will be fine with that PSU. But there still is the old issue of older legacy motherboard BIOSs sometimes not recognizing the new UEFI BIOS of the Maxwell-equipped GTX 750 Ti. If you can find a BIOS update for you PC, you may want to do that first. Or wait and see if you need it. Sometimes just doing that fixes the issue. Sometimes not.

This MSI GTX 750 Ti comes with a dual BIOS switch you can use to switch between UEFI and legacy: http://us.msi.com/product/vga/N750Ti-TF-2GD5OC.html#hero-overview
