Hey all,

my current GTX is gtx 650 2gb , I want to upgrade to GTX 1050ti and I only have enough saving to buy the gpu and nothing else , I was wondering if my motherboard can support GTX 1050 ti with my stock power supply .

extra detail :

motherboard : ASUS H87M-E

Power supply : Switching Power Supply . Model Number : ATX-500W

I start to wonder since I discovered that gtx 650 use 65w while gtx 1050 ti use 75w ..

please tell me something :D Thanks in advance :D
