Which 1050TI's? A lot of them receive all their power from the PCIe slots - outside of x16 slots, you'll need powered risers that can do 75W.

Theoretically, a quality 550W could do it. I'd be inclined to look to a quality ~750W range unit though to operate at peak efficiency - when mining, efficiency considerations become more relevant.

Those require 6pin connectors.... so the (fully) powered risers aren't necessary. Risers do need to be powered, but that's typically sufficient with Molex or Sata, if the card receives power from the PSU directly.

So, you need a GPU with at least 6x6pin connectors. I believe most quality 750W PSUs top out at 4x 6+2 connectors.... with quality 850W units being 4x 6+2 and +2x 6pin connectors, or 6x 6+2

So, you're probably looking at a minimum of 850W. A quality 850W unit is going to cost around $100 USD
