Hi I bought a pc a couple of days ago which was used for like a gear and the power supply is 265 watts I have core i7 2600 4 cores 3.40 ghz and 8 gb ram 2-3 fans a optiplex 390 motherboard with 1 monitor mouse a keyboard 1 trb of hdd and I was wondering if I can put a gtx geforce 1050/ti and would it still work perfectly without problems?
Thanks for everyone's help

Personally I wouldn't even run the rest of the system on a 265 watt power supply.

A typical build matching yours would look something like this;

Coming out at 209 watts. 209/265 = 78% peak usage without the Geforce 1050

Adding a Geforce 1050Ti adds another 70 watts bringing you to 279 watts
Do not Buy gtx 1050 until you have an Minimum Recommended PSU off 300W or 450W. Your Risking your PSU because thats not enough to power everything in your computer right now!. Just that if PSU fails it could take out your computer parts and such!
