HP ENVY Desktop - 750-414
300W uATX aPFC internal power supply
Odense2-S motherboard
Intel Core i5-6400 (2.7GHz) core4 6MB 65W
Memory 12GB DDR4-2133 PC4-17000MB/s

I want to buy a new graphic card to play PUBG. I found that gtx 1050 ti would be enough to play it, but I'm not sure if it will fit to my mainboard and power supply is ok.

I bought this computer last year.
There are so many different types of gtx 1050 ti, and I don't know which one would be a good one for me.

Well my father use to have a prebuilt Currys/PC world HP mini ITX system and it had an Haswell i3. We were able to put a new low profile PSU and a Radeon 7750 (think it was that) low profile and it was able to play most games around 50fps low settings 1080p (Skyrim, Dishonored for example). He has a monster i7 Skylake GTX 1060 build now.

Could you most a picture of the inside of your case and measurements of the amount of room you have to fit one in.
How much room do you have left in your case around the PCIE slot?

The recommended PSU is 300w but i don't think that you PC will have a very good one as it say on its specs online '300W AC power adapter'. You most likely aren't getting 300W, maybe 250W efficiency wise. Also due to the size of your case you may need to get a low profile PSU as well,

You would have to go for a low profile-ish card (https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=gtx+1050+low+profile&tag=googhydr-21&index=aps&hvadid=164984015465&hvpos=1t1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3450939371667425583&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=e&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9041112&hvtargid=kwd-270205318762&ref=pd_sl_871dp7y9tt_e) and get a better PSU (most likely a 450-500w one).

Case design and position of the PCIe x16 slot on the motherboard can be a factor. You could be limited to a low profile, or to a single-slot-height card. Maybe, maybe not. I haven't been able to find a picture of an open case with motherboard showing for your model on an admittedly very hasty Google search.

It's a modern system, so I would assume that it will accept the 10-series video cards from Nvidia, but some OEM machines (Dell, HP, etc) will have a BIOS that can be notoriously finicky. Hard to say on a given particular model.
