Hello there.

I've been looking into upgrading the current GPU I have in my Medion PC. It's a NVidia 745 GTX. Now I was wondering if I could upgrade it to something like this card.

This is a GTX 1050 Ti Low profile card. I picked low profile since it'll make it so I have enough space in the case for it. Now I was wondering if I would need to upgrade the current power supply I have. I know this is needed a lot when upgrading graphics cards on PC's that are put together by a manufacturer. The card needs 300 wattage. This is what it says on the power supply I currently have.

Will this be enough? Or am I better off with getting a new PSU. I just want to make sure before buying. I'm pretty sure my CPU won't bottleneck so it's all good regarding that.

Thanks in regards! :)
 
Solution
The 1050 Ti is a good choice and will be quite an upgrade from the 745. It is only recommended to have at least a 300W power supply and yours is a 350W so you should be fine, the 1050 Ti doesn't use very much power.
