open case and check psu, if larger than 250 W or so, get this: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125952&cm_re=gtx_1050_ti_low_profile-_-14-125-952-_-Product

PSU is 180w. What is your recommendation now? which graphics card should I buy? Or should I proceed buying 250w PSU & gtx1050 low profile?

1050 ti is pushing it, safe bet is 1030: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125973&cm_re=gt_1030_low_profile-_-14-125-973-_-Product

you will not be able to buy 250... it is proprietary psu, no easy upgrades.

open the case and count the motherboard connector

if it is 20/24-pin then you have a lot of options


you can buy a new case that is standard sized, and swap the guts into it

then you can also buy a standard power supply and get a much better gpu

^+1

the case will limit your psu choice, what is your total budget? So we can see if your budget can fit in a case, new psu and gpu.

dealer told me not to open the case instead he gave me link to motherboard spec https://ark.intel.com/products/98086/Intel-B250-Chipset . will this help in finding out number of connector.

that is useless


we need the specific model of the motherboard

also if you dont open the case how are you going to upgrade it?
