Open the case and look at the area around the PCIe slot, you can measure the space with a ruler or a cut out paper or cardboard rectangle.

You have a bit of an issue with your system, those cheaper gaming PC brands often use cheap parts and the CPU you have is pretty out-dated for newer games. What is your current video card?

With your budget you don't want a 1050 at all, 1650 Super is under $200 and is much faster, you also want to look into replacing the system since quite a few new games will have issues running on your CPU.

my video card is the Nvidia Gt 710

That is well worth an update even with your CPU, do a BIOS update on the system and get a 1650 Super, will be a good card for 1080 gaming even if/when you upgrade the rest of the system, or wait a few months and see what newer cards in that price range come out.
