If you want to upgrade your ram, do so with the help of a ram kit, preferably a 2x4GB or a 2x8GB DDR3-1600MHz 1.5v kit. It's bad practice to mix and match sticks of ram since they can and will give you instability. Prior to upgrading your ram, make sure your motherboard BIOS is up to date.

Since the system is a prebuilt, you're going to need to see what the sticker on the PSU says. Best would be to pass on a picture of it for us to see. You will need at least 350W of power for the entire system with the GTX1050Ti in it. Your case will support an aftermarket ATX PSU without any issues but make sure it's of good quality(as close to Tier 1 as possible).

You could look into a Corsair CX450M unit and you should be good to go.

And FYI the i3 may be nice, but you will hit a point because of the lack of Cores as compared to the 'standard' of a minimum of a i5, that it will be the bottleneck. That computer is really a entry level model for general use, not a 'Gaming' Rig as your trying to build towards, just to FYI

CanI atleast updagrade the ram?

Sure 8GB will help if you multitask alot... like wanting to message while streaming music and playing games at all the same time would be very RAM intensive. The more you 'do' the more you need more RAM. Youtube Gamers for example normally have 16GB because they are doing ALL those things at one time.
