Is a 450W PSU enough for a GTX1050Ti & Fx-6300?

Hey guys, I want to add a discrete GPU to my PC, but I need to know if my PSU can handle it.
I have an EVGA 450 B1, 80+ BRONZE 450W PSU powering an AMD Fx 6300 CPU, 8GB of RAM and 1TB WD HDD.
I've been thinking on buying the Gtx 1050Ti, but I'm not sure. What do you think?
Thanks in advance

You’ll be okay. The EVGA 450B is just mediocre, connectors aren’t an issue, and has more than enough wattage on the 12v rail. Your PSU can support this graphics card upgrade.

Though if plan to add a more power GPU, say GTX 1070 or better, I’d advise a better quality power supply.

Thanks for your reply. Now that you mention it, would a Gtx 1060 be too much of a stretch for this PSU? I wouldn't dare to put a Gtx 1070 on a simple rig like this though.
