GTX 1050 mini with PCI E 2.0?

[Tarun17]

Hello guys,

I just wanted to ask that would a gtx 1050 fit inside my pc?

My specs are:

Intel DH55TC mobo :

Core i3 540:

A 450 watts psu

and 4 GB of RAM........................

Well it is my first post on this website so let me see what is the result...

*EDIT*
Also will the cpu bottleneck the gfx card?
and I am looking forward to upgrading my RAM in the near future.

Sir We Got Some Problems
Problem 1 : Ur Cpu Will Bottleneck Ur Gpu For Sure. Very Unstuitable Because Of Ur Cpu
Small Problem 1 : The Pci Express Generation 2 Will Work Good With A Gtx 1050ti . Just Got A Little Fewer Performance Compared To Pci Express Generation 3
About 4-7% Lower Performance Which Isnt Very Sensable .
Also Just For Inform U . 1050ti Uses 75 Watt . So If Ur Psu Isnt Good Enough U Should Change It
Although All Of The Power Supplies Will Not Give U The Wattage Which Written On Em . But Good Brands Like Corsair Evga Apevia And ... Are Good For Sure
Best Regards Khd

^Last time I checked the rules state that you communicate eloquently in English. To me it looks like either your keyboard is missing a few alphabets or you got stuck in replying to an sms.

I'm sorry but I can't agree with you stating that Apevia make reliable units. In fact you didn't continue past the ... after Apevia. Are there more or are you simply trying to state that"..." is a brand in itself?

Simple answer, OP, yes you will suffer from a bottleneck. Anything at or above a GTX750Ti would also be a bottleneck so please look at a GPU that is in that range. If you plan to upgrade to a Skylake or Kabylake platform then you can pick up the GTX1050 but it'd be moot at this point of time. When you speak of PC, you forgot to state the case you're working with and in that essence, you forgot to include your entire/full system's specs inclusive of your OS. Generically stating your specs leaves a lot to guess work and gives no indication to your components and internals quality.

Apevia sells PSU-shaped objects. I've never seen a competent technical review in which one passed; in most, they die in sparks and flames.
