Thansk in advance.

When upgrading from a i7 2600 imo hardly worth spending money on.

Oh yes, i thought he already have 3770. But no problem, i7 2600 is also a decent CPU and can handle 1050ti with ease.

It's still a decent CPU and will match perfectly GTX 1050 ti.

I already have an i7-3770 sitting around which I’m going to put in if it works.

And that is my motherboard so does that mean any normal PSU is compatible?

Yes since that is your motherboard would a normal atx psu work fine. The power connectors are a 24pin+4pin which they all have.

It should work, but may require Motherboard BIOS upgrade.
