[SOLVED] Is this a possible graphic card upgrade?

[Chakerz]

Hi,
I want to upgrade my graphic card but is unsure if my computer can run it. My computer is pretty old but I do not play any high requirement games so I don't want to pay too much.
These are my specs:

I want to upgrade to Gtx 1050ti or something similar. Is this a possible upgrade?

Hi and welcome to Tom's forum.

That could be a good upgrade but I am not sure that your PSU can handle that GPU.

Thank you,
Figured the same, should I buy a new PSU and then it should work?

A new PSU would be good idea, the problem is that some of those OEM rigs are built with non ATX PSU, you will need to check that before get a new one.

Thank you for your reply.
I checked and there shouldn't be a problem with changing the PSU. But I have one last question, how many watts do I need on the new PSU for my PC?

nVidia recomends a 300W PSU so, you should go with around 450W or above since 300W is almost imposible to find.
