Yes, it should do. As the 1050Ti only uses 75W of power, it should be able to draw this all from the motherboard (the PCIE lane) rather than using additional power connectors.
However, as you are using PCIE 1.1, the latest is PCIE 3 - there will be a bottleneck in the actual usefulness of the card itself.
One thing to bear in mind though - what power supply are you using? Even if it is drawing power from the motherboard, if you haven't got a great power supply it probably isn't the best idea to put another graphics card in there.
Another thing - what CPU are you using? From a google of the motherboard it looks like an Intel Core 2 Quad of some sort - correct me if I'm wrong here. If this is the case, and you are looking to make this run games, might I reccommend the GT 1030 instead: https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/GeForce-GT-1030-AERO-ITX-2G-OC.html#hero-specification (or a similar model) - as this only draws 30W so power wouldn't be so much of an issue. This is a great little card, runs really well on older machines as well. The PCIE 1.1 will, however, still be an issue - although it will work, it won't be at full speed.
