Greetings. As of right now, this is how my PC looks like (images attached in URL above). I plan to change my current graphic card to a MSI GTX 1050ti. Would it fit into my motherboard? If not, what other mods of the graphic card can I fit in? Also I'm aware that I probably need to change my PSU. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

yes it has a pcie slot

yes you need to change your power supply


blue wolf bw-23 btx 650w

it is actually a super crap 200w power supply with 9 amps on the 12v rail

XD

Wow that power supply.

I am not sure if that doesn't fall under misleading advertising making consumers think it's actually a 650W PSU.

OP, you'll need a 450 to 500W PSU for your setup. I don't expect the power draw to be higher than 300W at any point but a 500W PSU will work with good efficiency and it'll be futureproof.

not for the motherboard


you do need to make sure your case has enough space for whatever card you get


you need to open it and measure
