I just bought a low end pc, G4400 with a 600w generic power supply. Is this fine? What if i add a 75w GPU Like the GTX 1050ti? WIll it handle it?
 
Solution
a 600w power supply usually is really a bad 250 watts power supply

it is not rare to see them just burn themselves and sometimes kill the mainboard with them, cpu also

you shouldn't save money on some parts, there are critical and non critical parts, this one is the most critical

if you don't apply much load, then keep it until you can buy a real psu, 450watts minimum, depends on the gpu and if you plan to add another cpu that could possibly be oeverclocked

the base of most people is a evga 450watts psu, or a corsair in the same range

So my overall budget is 300$. The system is 160$. I was planning on buying a 1050ti, but it seems it wont fit the budget if I buy power supply... What is best Graphics Card that will fit in my budget including NEW pwrsupply tnx :)
 
a 1050, the non ti, is a great card and cheap, it depends on the mainboard to work only so the psu doesn't get that much load but still will represent 200 watts more or less, and the psu could end burned at that load, cheap psus are just a box of surprises, some are good surprises, other are bad surprises
