Hey pals, I am pretty low on budget right now so I'm buying a GTX 1050 2GB and here are my specs:

Intel i3-550 3.2GHz
6GB DDR3 RAM
Gtx 1050 2gb OC (which I want to buy)

A standard USB mouse and USB keyboard

Also, 1-2 USB devices (Controller and Headphones)

Hard disk is stock (and pretty old) so just 500GB

I really want to know if my current 300W PSU should be able to handle this because I can't spend more money for a PSU

Thanks in advance :)

You should be good to go because the minimum power requirement for the GTX 1050ti is 300W. However, you really shouldn't cheap out on a power supply because it is the one part of your build that could fry all the other expensive parts. Ultimately the choice is up to you.

Good Luck and Hope This Helps!

easily, but as useless2112 said, you should get a good psu, and also try getting one that is fully modular however that isnt necessary, but it helps alot with cable management and airflow.
