The minimum recommended watts for gtx 1050 and 1050ti is 300watts, I would recommend going for gtx1050ti if you were to buy a gpu.
But even though is has the minimum watts there is no guarantee it would run it, you would need to know how much amps it delivers, do you know the exact model? Since your pc is prebuilt they have cheaped out on the ram, motherboard and psu, using the parts that can only just run the cpu and gpu they are paired with. I would recommend upgrading motherboard, ram, psu as well as gpu. What cpu do you have and what is your budget?

i think that type of gpu require UEFI so better to check it first that your motherboard support it or not.If your motherboard support UFEI then you are ready to go for a gtx 1050

His motherboard may be able to support it but also need to check if psu will be able to run it aswell, could you take a picture of the numbers on the psu?
For the second image, would the GTX be able to fit in there? The 745 is quite a small card
If the images dont load

Then you are ready to enjoy gaming experience with your gtx 1050.UEFI is just the newer name and the latest development of EFI

Your motherboard may support it, but your motherboard is not the only component to consider as abhishekuikey0907 thinks. You need to also make sure the psu will. I have seen the picture of your psu but I am not sure if this psu will, I don't want to give you false info so I will ask someone more experienced and knowledgeable.
Wait for a reply from me.

Just checked, the gtx 1050 will be able to run with both your psu and mobo.
Go for that upgrade mate!

However make sure to clean all that dust, change the psu when you can afford it and not to bend your sata cables that much.
