So I dont know much about computers but I was thinking about upgrading my old GTX 645 to a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050 TI 4GB Windforce OC. My old video card is 147mm long and the 1050ti is 227mm long.
I couldn't find much about my motherboard except that the name of it is G3-605.
So my question is if the 1050ti will fit in this pc since its like 80mm bigger

That info doesn't let us know if the card will physically fit. It probably will because most 1050 Ti are short cards, but to be sure you need to know the length of the card you want to get and then measure from the back of the case to the drive cage or other obstruction that may limit the card from fitting.

The PSU says 500W, but total wattage means very little. It is the capacity of the PSU's +12V rail that will determine it. In all likelihood, the 500W PSU is sufficient unless it is a real over-rated cheap-o. Check the nameplate on the PSU and read the specs for the +12V rail(s).

You never asked a question, so I was just guessing at possibilities you might have been wondering about.
So... what was your question? If it will fit? Depends on your case. If it will work with the board? It should, although there is always a tiny chance of incompatibility with OEM boards. If your PSU will handle it? Don't know, you didn't specify.
 


All of the information is in the first link. The only thing I dont know for sure now is if it will fit in my pc.

Thank you! I'm gonna make sure to measure it tomorrow and also check the PSU. I didn't notice that I didnt even ask a question so sorry for that. Have a good day.
