I have been wanting to put a graphics card in my computer but do not know whether to go with a gtx 1050 ti low profile or gt 1030, I am thinking about the 1050 but do not know if my power supply is enough (180w) or if anything else isn't good enough. I would like to be able to play fortnite.

I have an SSD and 8GB of ram already.

Yikes, that's not a very good PSU wattage. If you are certain you want to upgrade, I would go for the 1030, but even that is a risk. The 1030 will still run Fortnite at decent settings, however. There's a video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hn8wJl9wqGo

how much of a risk would it be to get a gt 1030

I'm not really sure. I used a PSU calculator and it recommended a better wattage (though I can't remember what exactly it was). Personally I wouldn't risk it, unless you could replace the PSU with a better one.

You'll need a better PSU, no other way around it as 180W is enough for that system but adding in a GPU will draw too much power for a 180W PSU and you'll probably end up damaging the GPU.

Do you know how I could upgrade the PSU because its a sff and most PSUs will probably be too big to fit in the case.
