Hi, I have recently purchased an Advent DT3415 i7 pc. All specs are stock atm.

I want to upgrade the parts for 1080p gaming.

I am looking at the GTX 1050 ti.
- Which graphics cards are compatible with this mobo?
- Do i need to upgrade the psu too?

Specs:

Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-3770 Processor (3.90 GHz, 8MB cache)
Motherboard: Customised ECS H61H2-MV
Graphics card: AMD Radeon HD 7770 - 1GB DDR5

Thanks.

The video card you have now uses about the same amount of power as the 1050ti.

I would be more concerned about the ECS H61 being able to work with the UEFI BIOS of the new cards and I can't answer that either way.

The GTX 1050 ti is completely compatible with what I see. You most likely will not need to upgrade the PSU as long as your current PSU does not exceed the amount of wattage everything needs but at the same time provides enough wattage. If your current PSU works as of right now, nothing should really change when you put in the 1050. Here is a list of compatible video cards: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/products/video-card/?compatible_with=ecs-motherboard-h61h2mv. Hope this helps!

Hi, thanks for the reply.

I believe the power supply is a switching supply which goes from 350w to 450w. Will this be good enough?

I am not sure how to calculate how much wattage everything needs.
 
With the wattage that you're pulling, I would recommend a good 350-400W power supply. I'm sure that your current power supply would be okay, but I would be more confident if you were to buy a third party 400W 80+ power supply to support your GPU.

A good pretty cheap PSU that will more than cover your needs is the EVGA 500W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply (https://pcpartpicker.com/product/XCjG3C/evga-power-supply-100w10500kr).
