Is this PSU enough for my new system?

[wilsonshresthaapps]

I am trying to upgrade my system to new Graphics Card, RAM and a SSD.

After the upgrade my system will look like this:

I5-4400 CPU
8 GB + 4 GB(Upgrade) DDR3 1600 MHz RAM
MSI B85-G41 PC Mate motherboard
TOSHIBA DT01ACA100 1 TB HDD
GTX 1050 TI 4 GB (Upgrade)
128 GB Transcend SSD (Upgrade)

My Power Supply details are in the picture below:

So Do I need to upgrade my Power Supply Unit? If I need to upgrade it suggest the best PSU for my System. Remember I use my PC a lot. And also I don't know much about this but do I need some more cooling after the upgrade like extra fans or something? Thank you.

Just make sure the 1050 Ti you get is one of the models that does not require a 6 pin pci-ex connector and you should be fine. I've never heard of Goldkist power supplies, so I can't give an opinion on how long lasting they are. Of your upgrades, only the videocard adds any real power demands, and that is only 75W if you get one that does not use a power connector.

Hello thanks for the suggestion about 6 pin pci-ex connector. I would have never known about that on my own. In my country gtx 1050 is priced around at 190$ and gtx 1050 ti is priced at 270$. Which one should i get if I'm tight on buget? And also is there a 6 pin pci models that i have to avoid for gtx 1050 also? Btw Goldkist power supplies are reputed brand in my country.

Oh and how did you figure out that I don't have a 6 pin pci-ex connector on my system? Or are you saying I do have one but shouldn't use it because it will consume more power? Also will it be wrong if I buy the model that require 6 pin pci-ex connector? I am confused here.

That psu has a 6 pin connector so any 1050ti is fine anyway.

1050's do not have a 6 pin connector anyway.

How did you find out that my PSU has a 6 pin connector? Or I should ask how to find out if the PSU (any PSU) have a 6 pin connector just looking at the picture that I have uploaded?

^ I googled it , assume youre in nepal or close to??

Theyre supplied with goldkist cases & are
advertised as having a 6 pin connector.

Apart feom that I recosniae the voltage tables, its a generic unit rebranded.
They're sold in the UK as Ace or CIT branded units.

In all honesty it's not a very good PSU, it will however handle a 1050ti no problem

Hello I am thinking of getting a 1060 3 GB instead. Will this PSU handle that instead?

I would say it's risky , there's a 60-70w difference between those cards.

Thank you for the reply, I will stick with 1050 TI. I think it will be ok for me since I will be gaming on just 1080p.

Hello I have got another question for you. Someone else told me anything around 500w from Seasonic or Superflower, the GQ/G2/G3 series from EVGA, the newest CX series from Corsair etc. will be ok for the gtx 1060 6 GB. But my PSU is of 650w. So what else matters in a PSU other than Wattage especially while choosing GPUs?
