you wait for the gpu to get there :D

then turn the pc off, unplug it, open the case, unplug monitor, open the box with the new 1050, insert it in the pci express x16 slot in your mainboard, lock it in place, the lock is on the end of the slot, black or whilte lock, put 1 or 2 screws to lock it in place

then close case, connect monitor in the new gpu and never plug monitor again on the the mainboard

if properly inserted, when you connect the pc and turn it on, the system will se it

then once on windows, download the nvidia driver, don't use the cd that comes with the gpu, it works nice as decoration in the wall

once downloaded the driver, install it, restart the pc and use it

there is around a billion of videos on how to assemble...

there is around a billion of videos on how to assemble pcs or install gpus so you can get a idea of the lock the gpu and insert it on the slot, jayztwocents does one of those videos in youtube each couple months so you can search for him and many other youtubers and you will get a idea

It's really very simple. There are a few simple things to be aware of but as long as you don't rush or force anything they are pretty minor.
I don't think the 1050 needs any additional power connections, but some cards do and you need to make sure you connect the PSU to any power sockets on those cards. You Should install it in the PCI-E x16 slot closest to the CPU normally, other slots may not be full x16 slots. Check what blanking plates need to be removed and do that first.

It's actually harder to get them out than in. The plastic clip on yours looks like you pull it sideways and they can be a little awkward to get at so when taking a card out you need to make sure the screws are removed and the clip is disengaged
