Yes, but the G1 didn't ship stock with a 730. So unless when it was added, the PSU was upgraded; it's already cutting it ridiculously close on an OEM unit.

Officially a 730 needs a 300W unit.... but it's only a 49W card. Coupled with the 54W CPU and ~50W for the balance of the components is somewhere around 150W. Technically, a somewhat decent 180W unit could do it. I doubt it would be 100% stable though.

The 1050TI adds another 26W power draw over the 730.... and you'd almost certainly run into problems with that.
54W + 75W + ~50W = roughly 179W.

Looks like there's sufficient room, but the problem is going to be in the power requirements.

From what I can find, that unit shipped with a 180W PSU as it's intended use was as an office machine. That's not going to be able to run a 1050TI.

Luckily, it appears the motherboard uses standard connections from the PSU (24pin ATX and 4pin EPS).

So, you should be able to replace the PSU with something more "fit for purpose"

For quality vs cost, you can't go wrong with this SeaSonic unit - although definitely overkill for an i3-4160 + 1050TI.

The PSU is a good consideration, but it should not have a 180w since the GT 730 he is replacing requires a 300w
https://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-730/specifications
......Minimum Recommended System Power (W) 300

The 1050ti also requires a 300w PSU

......Minimum Recommended System Power (W) 300

So the 1050ti should just drop in and work, but it is worth checking.

We can debate until the cows from home, but checking it by the OP is all that is needed. If it is a 180, it is too low. If it is a 300w, he is ok.

In case the OP is still looking at upgrading it is wrth pointing out that a standard ATX PSU (or standard SFX for that matter) will not fit in many recent HP cases.
