I have a dell pc with an I-5 with 8 gb of ram , I’m planning on getting a 1050 ti or and 460, however my psu only had 240 Watts , will the pc be able to handle the two graphics cards?

Yeah, both will be alright with that PSU.
@dontlistentome, it's perfectly fine with that unit technically, as long as it's not running Furmark and Prime95 for hours on end. :)
@OP, a 1050 would be the most I would go with, they go for $93 I believe.
If your CPU is a 65W and you add a 75W GPU, that's 140 on the 12V output. I'd want at least "16A" to be listed on the power supply's label for the 12V output to even consider it. You can see this by removing the side of the case and looking at the label.

You have other potential issues though. A power supply that small hints at a small proprietary design, one which won't take upgrades. You neglected to provide even so much as the model though, so I can't help you investigate that.
