Hello! I am new to PC gaming and I would like to upgrade my (fairly) old HP Pavilion p7-1436s with a new graphics card, but I am unsure as to if my computer can support it, or if I need to buy some new parts, like a better CPU. My specs are as follows:

CPU: AMD AMD A6-5400K Trinity Dual-Core 3.6 GHz
Mobo: MSI MS-7778 (Jasmine)
GPU: AMD radeon HD 7540D
RAM: 8gb
PSU: 300W

Will the CPU badly bottleneck the 1050 Ti? An answer would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

You'll get bottleneck on CPU intensive games (BF1, GTA V) but otherwise you should be okay. Also, a 300W PSU probably isn't enough,you can get ones really cheap like this one https://www.cclonline.com/product/113044/500W-BUILDER-BLACK/Power-Supplies/Unbranded-500W-12cm-Power-Supply-Unit-PFC-CE-3-x-SATA-White-Box-/PSU0542/ :)
