300w is it enough power for a gtx 1050ti to run

[Medmg]

i have a prebuilt pc hp elite 7300 series mt with a 300w psu, an i5 2500 3.30 ghz,8gb ddr3 ram , an integrated gpu intel hd 2000 and a hp x23led monitor.
i intend to buy a gtx 1050ti with no 6 pin connector so that i don't end up upgrading the psu.
so will my pc be compatible with the new gtx 1050 ti ??

I think you will need a better psu, you have to keep in mind that your cpu and cooling also needs electricity.A cpu is around 1.2-1.5 volts and the max usage of the 1050Ti can be 300 watts

Minimum recommended PSU is 300w: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-1050-ti/specifications

You should be okay. Good luck.

Should be good as is.

Agreed - 300w should give you enough headroom. It might be a good idea to check how many amps you get on the 12V rail(s), just to be on the safe side.

300 W is definitely enough, just the question is if your PSU is real 300 W or not. Any more details on it - brand and model?

May not be much real info - given it's whatever came with the HP pc. At least, I'm assuming it's the original.

HP OEM PSUs are generally pretty good devices. You'll be fine. No worries.
