GTX 1050 for a 460W PSU

[AdrianFF]

Im planing to buy a GTX 1050, but I dont really know if my PSU will endure it. Is there any other gpu i could buy instead of the GTX 1050? Or something similar?

The wattage is over the required watts for the GPU. However, you need to make sure that 460w can handle everything in your pc. (It should) But still, just to be safe, you should check your specs and figure out the power that everything you have uses.

Ok, just for the record, which stuff sould i consider to calculate the power draw?

Enter your specs and hit calculate. It should tell you what everything uses in total. (I say should because I haven't used this site before, I just pulled up one real quick for you.)

The PSU is likely fine. A GTX 1050 has relatively low power requirements, and should only draw around 70 watts under load, and while I don't know what CPU you have, it likely won't use more than 100 watts. Add in another 50 watts or so to cover all your drives, fans and other components, and your entire system won't likely draw more than around 200 to 250 watts under full load. Even if your power supply were some cheap brand that could barely handle its rated capacity, your components won't likely need more than half that.
