[crazy_coco]

Hi, im looking to get the GTX 1050 Ti and insert it into my pc so i can game, but i dont know if my computers Psu can handle it. This is my pc http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=c03769001

It has an
AMD A8-5500 cpu
8Gb of DDR3 ram

And uh yeah, i dont know too much about Pc's

The 1050 Ti Oc Mode Chips Uses 75 Watts .

So It Means Its Ok If U Are Using Only 1 hard Drives .

But U MUST Notice That Most Of Power Supplies Specailly From Unreliable Brands Will Not Give The Maximum Wattage Which Written On Them.

So U Will Not Get 300 Watts For Sure. So I Suggest U If Its Not From A Famous Or Reliable Brands Change It Fast Before It Damage And Hurts Ur Components .

If U Have No Idea About Power Supplies Plz Mention The Complete Information Of Ur Power Supply ( Contains Brands ,Series If U Can , )

So We Can Tell U The Exact Decision U Should Take Due To Ur Gpu Upgrade

Also Sir U Should Know Ur Cpu Isnt Quite Appropriate For Gaming ( I Mean Heavy Cpu Intensive Games Or Gpu Intensive Games On Very High Settings With High Resolutions )

Keep Us Posted Sir

I agree. If it did run it probably would be very unstable at best. Sorry.

imho you should go GTX 1050.

I checked your pc specs and I found that your pc cannot run gtx 1050ti instead it requires atleast a 400w power supply.

Yeah, i was thinking about getting a 430 watt power supply(CORSAIR CX series CX430) and i dont plan to play like hardcore gaming, just the light stuff.
Altough if you guys dont reccomend i get a 1050 Ti it'd be nice if you guys gave me some suggestions since im not very happy with my current fps on some games.
Or would i be better off building a PC?

The corsair power supply which you mentioned will just be sufficient enough for 1050ti.

Well Sir Cx Series Is Ok Enough For Ur System Since U Don't Planned On Oc ( Also U Cant Oc Ur Cpu ) So We Are DONE!

Also 1050 Ti Is Perfect For Light Gaming . Go For It

Here is Guru3D's power supply recommendation:

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti - On your average system the card requires you to have a 300~350 Watts power supply unit.

If you are going to overclock your GPU or processor, then we do recommend you purchase something with some more stamina. And remember, a PSU is the most efficient at 50% load. So if you use 400 Watts on average (SLI), the most energy friendly power supply would be an 800 Watt model.
