Could anyone tell me if they have successfully upgraded a SFF PC (with a 240w PSU) with a GTX 1050 or 1050 ti without upgrading the PSU. Or if it's even possible in the first place.

To a 1050 or 1050 Ti? Probably not. I'm assuming it's either an HP, Dell, or Lenovo. The best you can do without stressing the PSU is likely a GT 1030.

The 240W PSUs are not of the greatest quality and the motherboards are *usually* not designed to pass very much power through PCIe slots anyway. My HP 8300 Elite SFF turns off (OCP) with a GTX 750 if usage is too high, and mine's got an i3.
