I am going to upgrade my ram soon to 16gb and i want to know what is a good replacement for AMD Radeon R5 235 so i could run my games better.

Take the cover off your PC and look inside. If this is what your PC looks like, you are limited to single slot gfx cards due to the location of the PCIe x16 slot.
Its small 220W PSU will limit you to a card like the GT 1030 as the max it can handle.

Yes that is how my pc looks like and i could buy a new psu so it can handle better graphics cards. Btw this is first time i am ever upgrading/changing parts from my pc so im new to all of this.

Unfortunately, there are no better PSUs for that PC. It uses a proprietary design. Retail PSUs won't fit.

Isnt it possible to get a new case that fits in a different psu?

Highly unlikely. It appears to use some proprietary front panel connectors that won't mate up with front panel connections on a retail case.

I decided to build a new pc with better parts.

That's always the better idea. 😉

Sorry for interfering, but it looks like the requirements for 1030 are 300W psu.
Is it then possible to use the 1050 also? It has also 300W required

More than likely it would be OK. But you would do so at your own risk. Personally, I would not hesitate taking the chance. But I can't recommend others do the same.
