Hello, kind of new to this stuff and I'm looking to get a new graphics card. I have Nvidia GF GTX1050 Ti, 4GB GDDR5 in mind since it's in my price range. Trying to find out will this card even fit into my laptop case and would it bottleneck my laptop if I get it e.g. is my CPU to weak for that kind of a graphics card.

That CPU is plenty powerful enough for that graphics card.....although what is your PSU? You are probably going to want a minimum of 350 watts.

....although I have no idea if it will fit.

switching video cards on laptops is not that trivial. Often not possible. You have to check with Acer....
