Need help, not sure if my power supply can handle a 1050 ti

timingfire · Aug 20, 2018

Sorry if this might sound like a stupid question, but I’m really paranoid.

So I’m planning on getting a 1050 ti and I’m not sure if my PSU can handle it. I’ve already checked my system specs on google but I can’t find an answer. One website says it gives out 250 Watts “peak”, and the other says 350 Watts “continuous power.”

My computer is a K1530.

I haven’t changed anything in it.

Thank you.

Buy a new 450 watt PSU.
Atleast 80+ efficient.
And it will handle your 1050ti.

Minimum supported PSU.
Coolermaster MWE 450
Recommend - coolermaster MWE 550 bronze. / corsair cs 550x

Depends on your budget.
1. Coolermaster MWE 450 80+
2.Coolermaster MWE 550 80+ bronze.
3. Corsair cs450x semi modular 80+ bronze.
4.Corsair rm550. 80+ gold

All can handle gtx 1050ti
All are quality products.
You Can choose according to your budget

Your PSU is 350 watt. But you know that these PSU are not capable enough to delivery total 350 watts of power.

And when your PC runs at 100% then it consume max power. If your psu is not powerful enough it cause random shutdown, data loss, Blue screen of death. Etc.

No, these are the exact opposite of quality. Those Cooler Master units are housefire quality. The Corsair RMX are solid units but might be out of the OP's price range. Maybe for a 1050 you could get away for a lower quality unit but you will definitely need a solid PSU if you're going to upgrade to any sort of decent graphics card. I wouldn't touch any of the recommended units with a 10 foot pole.

OP - how much are you looking to spend on a PSU and what is your main PC? Can it house a full ATX unit?

The CX450m is a decent PSU, but the 550m is going for the same price, recently, so that would be my budget pick. The TXM series are decent as well. That or a Seasonic 520w modular. It depends on your location and what is available to you.

Both Corsair units are fine. I'd avoid the Coolermaster units though.

It's OK.
I really don't know about any supplies.
Just I know their names.
Tell him your opinion.

You probably shouldn't be recommending either for or against things you only know the name of and not anything about.

arif1752002m4a1 · Aug 21, 2018

I know only about supplies in my own budget. Like 30-40$ you know. Budget building
