Will the GTX 1050ti work with my motherboard?

Solution
Your PSU looks to be reasonably decent, albeit not very efficient. FSP is a pretty reputable manufacturer, but this one would be from one of their cheaper product lines.

When choosing your 1050ti, see what the manufacturer recommends for minimum PSU size. Some of the more compact, single-fan models state a 300W minimum. But a two-fan overclocked model may want more. Some models will draw up to 75W and others up to 120W.

Your current PSU will work. As you upgrade to more expensive components, think about looking for a better PSU to protect them.



That alone is no guarantee that it'll be okay as with some PSU brands the claimed wattage is often higher than the actual wattage it's capable of. Plus, the wattage is not the only important factor - - how many amps it can muster on the 12v rail is just as important, especially if it has has to power a GPU directly via 6-pin or 8-pin auxiliary cables.

This is where PSU brand and model is crucial - - some are very reliable but many more are cheap rubbish.
So just relying on the claimed output wattage as printed on the PSU sticker is no way to make a judgement.
