That calculator is not really accurate at all. Close but no cigar.
Their not a Zotac 1050ti that I know of that takes a PSU connector.
Your fine no problems. In reality your probably looking at the 210 Watt area while gaming.

A 283 watt build on a 280 watt PSU sounds like trouble. Even if it does run, it may not be stable when you push it. This would be even more of a problem if you connect a phone to it.

[strike]The better question is whether your PSU has the 6-pin GPU connector that the 1050 Ti requires at all. Most PSUs like that do not. If that's the case, your only option is the GTX 1050 or RX 460. Those two cards would work with your PSU.[/strike]

UPDATE: I stand corrected. All of those cards have the same power draw on paper. All could spell trouble.

I don't know if the 280 watt PSU will be enough, but I have a 1050 ti (not zotac, MSI) but it doesn't have a 6 pin GPU connector.
