What is the recommended wattage (power supply) for the Zotac 1050 Mini (Not Ti)

What the title says, lol.

1200-1500W standard for most PSUs

Depends what is your sistem configuration too , 450w - 500w for all system including 1050 is enough.

The is gross overkill and not a serious answer. Any quality 400-500w PSU is more than capable of powering nearly any rig with this particular GPU.

Depends on actual pc specs. Nvidia's guestimation is 300w.

Even 200W PSU would probably be enough. What CPU are you using? Gtx 1050 needs only 75 W max. If you're using something like g4560 which will max around 24W (54 on paper), 150W PSU will be enough. I'd go with 300W to 400W PSU though, so that PSU would work quiet even when rig is under heavy load.

The cpu is going to be an i5-3470 from a HP Pro 6300 (I'm going to buy a refurbished one and stick a 1050 in it)

Wait, only 300W? That's so little...

Your max load wattage (100 % CPU+ overclocked GPU utilization) would be around 270-280W (that is with SSD+HDD+DVDRW + 4 fans in the rig) so everything above 350W would be OK. I'd go with 400W or even 500W if you want quiet PSU while gaming. You can check it yourself https://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator

Is there any good PSU's to recommend that are around that wattage? Because all the ones I'm looking at don't look like you're average EVGA model psu. Or is it probably just more worth it to buy a 400W 80 Plus power supply?

You don't want evga's lower psus, they are no good. If you want quality, seasonic has good low power ones. But prices aren't much different from 300w to 500w models so getting higher isn't a bad idea if you plan to upgrade or reuse it. https://pcpartpicker.com/products/power-supply/#e=2&sort=price
