Is it possible to put a GTX 1050ti on my pc

My pc: https://support.hp.com/ca-en/document/c04556792
I went on a psu calculator and its about 300-400watts for a new psu and I thought coolmax could work cause its cheap. I'm also worried that the gpu might not fit in the pci slot or dual fans or single fans.

It'll fit but you'll need a better PSU.

I'm getting a new psu whichmight be coolmaster and probably 400-500 watts

Most CM PSUs are awful; try a Corsair CX450M.

Okay thanks! So I just put the psu in the pc and connect everything plus the gpu and it should work?

In theory, yes. I would say first make sure you have the latest BIOS update for your system.

The one possible problem is that, sometimes, with OEM systems like Dell, HP, etc., their BIOSes won't support newer video cards. Hard to guess ahead of time, though. I've run into that situation once with a Dell PC myself. But, while I can't guarantee it, given that your system is relatively modern (Haswell era), I would guess the odds are pretty good that it'll work.
