So I've been looking into getting a GTX 1050 ti or just a GTX 1050 because playing games on my computer is hard due to having integrated graphics (I have an apu). I have an "Acer Aspire M3470" and my motherboard is a "Acer Aspire M3470 AMD Desktop Motherboard sFM1, MB.SJ001.001". I was wondering if my computer can run this graphics card, i'm almost positive it can, but my concern is the PCI-E slot, does it have enough power to give to the gpu. I'm looking at these models (gtx 1050 ti and gtx 1050) because they do not require external power. Will I see an increase in performance? Does my motherboard support these gpu's. I know I will face some bottlenecks but that isn't too much of a problem for me. I have a 300w power supply by the way!
Thanks in advance

Yeah I agree with maestro, you'll need a better power supply. I'd go with 650 watt bronze since i think that's what I have. I also have the 1050 TI, I would suggest waiting until black friday/Cyber Monday and get a GTX 1060 so VR is an option (may have to upgrade the CPU too, but not sure) and buy large fans.
