Hey guys, firstly I'm extremely new to computers and everything about them, but I have just bought a msi geforce GTX 1050ti for my computer. As I was installing the graphics card I herd a "pop" noise just before connecting the 6-pin power cord to the graphics card. Now my computer shows no sign of power, I have done the basics such as unplugging everything and plugging everything back in, turning on and off, but nothing seems to work....please help!
Heard a "pop" while replacing graphics card, now computer won't turn on.

That's enough to make a problem, there's still power in the MB and some parts of PSU as long as power cord is in and few minutes after.
Normal procedure is when ever you have to do something inside a computer to take power cord out and press start button for few seconds to drain capacitors.

It made the pop noise before the graphics card was fully installed, and I tried taking the graphics card out but still shows no sign of power...I also did some research and apparently the computers power supply is very low end and unknown

Seems like the issue is sourcing from your PSU. I would replace it, if it's low end and unknown even if it isn't the issue. You'll have a PSU for a long time and a poor quality PSU can destroy more than itself when the day comes for it to die. The EVGA G2 series is a good place to start for good quality/price PSUs.
I would also see about testing your other components if possible. Whatever caused that 'pop' may have also caused some damage to your components.
