Graphics card and PSU compatibility

[AttackCommander]

Hey y'all!

Just wanted to ask for a quick confirmation on whether or not the PCI express slot will support a 75 watt GTX 1050 Ti graphics card that I'm looking at for my build. I'm pretty sure it'll be fine as there is no 2x3 pin power connector or anything of that sort that is needed for external power but I just wanted to confirm my suspicions.

With that said, I also picked out an EVGA 500W PSU to power my future rig and I wanted to know if there should be anything further to consider. To me, everything looks A-OK, as I took into account future upgrades and worse case scenarios.

Motherboard makers don't provide a maximum wattage...is that normal?

Below are the results to a PSU calculator and EVGA's website that goes to the PSU:

Sorry for this lengthy post, I just wanted to prevent any confusion!

What motherboard do you have? The GTX 1050 ti runs fine with a good quality 300W PSU.

I'm looking at the Msi H110M PRO-VD

There is absolutely no reason the 1050 Ti won't be fine with that board. And the Evga PSU (while not the best) is also fine. I have several builds now and in the past with that PSU. All with hi-performance cards and some even OC'ed.

Just for future reference, how much wattage can the PCI Express x16 slot alone provide?

It is required to provide a minimum of 75W on that board. The GTX 1050 Ti will rarely draw that. Only the most demanding games will get it to that level. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1050-ti,4787-6.html
Trust me, the board will be fine.

Keep in mind, the 1050 Ti in the article above is a factory OC'ed model WITH a 6-pin header. The cards w/o the 6-pin header won't demand that much power.
