So I have 1050ti and wanted to know if it is compatible with motherboard- A88gmv
And yes CPU - athlon ii x2 and 270
I know it will bottleneck but wanted to know if 1050 or 1050ti will work with motherboard
And yes my PSU is 500 watt Enter e500r
Which does not have any 6-pin PCI-E power connectors.

Yes, you can put a 1050Ti on that board. The PCI express 2.0 slot on that board and the CPU you have won't do that card any favors though. Also, a couple of the 1050 Ti cards I was looking at don't need a 6-pin power connector. I am assuming yours does since you mentioned it. There are adapters like this 2x 4-pin molex to 6 pin PCI power cable if you have a few spare molex connectors on your PSU. The one 1050 Ti I was looking at wanted 75W of power so I'm assuming other 1050 Ti cards are in a similar power range.
 
FYI that psu is not only terrible quality but the 500w rating is a lie. It’s own spec only rates it at 24A on the 12v rail which is 288w (12x24), this is about what a 300w psu would be rated at.

Will it run a 1050 or 1050Ti, it probably will. How long it lasts before it dies and possibly damages your system or if it reduces the life of other components who knows.
