Thank you for responding.
I guess the first issue is whether or not the motherboard will take the graphics card as internally there does not seem to be room; the slot to insert the card on the board does not allow for the hdmi sockets etc on the 1050 to come out the back for access. Im wondering if the pre built gaming pc is badly put together. im a technical novice and the YT vids ive watched to learn the procedure does not relate to the pc's construction.

Is your tower a Small Form Factor tower? could you attach pictures of the issue as there are a number of possible reasons it could be.

those are actually fixed on and can only be snapped off...not sure if that's normal but happy to do. on the gpu there is a 6 pin socket but there isn't a cable within the pc that fits in to it. do i need an adapter? or is it not required?
apologies foe being so naive.

Yes some cases require the I/O panels to be snapped when first removed. In the case of the cables you will need a new PSU if you do not have a 6 pin cable running from it. I would recommend something such as the Corsair CM450x 450w as it is a cheap, reliable and practical power supply.
