I have two questions. Can this PC handle a GTX 1050 ti gigabyte... and what are the specs
i recently found this pc online and am going to go buy in a day or two but i was questioning the legitimacy of the pc since every time i search it up the cpu is different than the one told on its description.

I am told it has a i5 4570 and 8gb of ram. would it be possible to upgrade to 16 gb of ddr3 ram and does this pc have a i5 4570. If all is correct do you think it could support a gigabyte gtx1050 ti or would it need a new PSU?
i believe this is the GPU

the SFF shipped with mostly i5's and a pentium and a celeron. click on specs in the link.
a half-height card should work in this unit if is can supply the full 75W to the PCIe slot. I cannot find this information anywhere. example only not an endorsement shop around.

the m73 was available in a few sizes, which sized unit are we talking about here, the tiny units cannot be upgraded beyond RAM and storage.
the SFF unit might be able to handle a SFF (small form factor) card provided the PCIe slot provides full 75W. some SFF systems limit the power to 30W.
the mid tower unit would be the easiest to upgrade the GPU and PSU if needed.
iu

no upgrades viable for the GPU or CPU
iu

small form factor half height cards with no power port may work with this model M73
iu

this unit is the easiest to upgrade across the board.

I believe the one pictures is the second one the small form factor.
any idea if it has an i5 or gtx 1050 ti capabilities?

Thanks for clearing that up, ill be getting the pc today(or so i hope) but from your information the 1050 ti is not possible? so should i just sell that card to get the low profile?
thank you all for your help.

just got the pc by god is it terrible. not really it has 8gb of ram 500 gb hdd and i5 like i said. the size was unexpected i never thought it would be so so so small. im disappointed but i believe there could be some work done. if anyone could link me to take everything out the case into another case or a very cheap 1050 ti low profile that would be great. i also have a gtx 750 ti for 70 if anyone is interested...
-With sad regards *temo

i made a makeshift case that looks like a bomb one psu taped up top the other. so far it works, the gpu dosent read but i guess its fine, just thought it would actually read.
