Upgrading from a GTX 750ti to a GTX 1050ti and I'm wondering if my PSU will be good enough?

Current Power Supply: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817154020
I am upgrading from a GTX 750 ti to a GTX 1050 ti
Current Processor: AMD FX-6300
Amount of RAM: 8GBDDR5
Do I need to upgrade my power supply or should I be able to upgrade without a new one?
Also if i missed any specs that you might need to know feel free to ask and i will give you them.

A good 400w PSU would be fine, but that unit is far from good. I suggest getting a better quality PSU.

Though not the best PSU out there, your current one will be "good enough". The GTX 1050 Ti only has a 75W TDP (if the GTX 1050 Ti you will buy does not need a 6-pin PCIE connector), or a 150W TDP (if the GPU has a 6-pin). Your FX-6300 can reach up to 95W. So, theoretically, you'd be looking at max. power draw around ~170W to ~245W. It'll never go above ~300W.

Your current PSU offers ~348W at the +12V rail. Good enough for a bit of headroom.

I'd be more concerned about the probability of that FX-6300 hindering the max. performance of the GTX 1050 Ti as it *might* bottleneck the GPU depending on which games you play (especially CPU-intensive games).
