Without upgrading the PSU you could probably install GTX1050 and GTX1050Ti. This case has ample room for long graphics cards. If you wanted to upgrade the PSU you could install a Corsair CX650M 650 watt (sleeve bearing, single 12V rail, ATX 2.4, EPS 2.92, semi modular) or SeaSonic M12ii 620 watt (fluid dynamic bearing, dual 12V rails, ATX 2.3, EPS 2.91, fully modular). Both are 80+ Bronze certified PSU, both cost the same ($40 after rebate), the SeaSonic has the better reputation. Also, I believe both brands come with all the protections (short circuit protection, over power protection, over voltage protection, under voltage protection). EVGA makes a good PSU also. You wouldn't have to go with a 650 watt PSU, but its almost the same price as a 500 watt to 600 watt PSU. Semi modular and fully modular are nice. INSTALLATION M32CD: Plenty of vids on youtube to follow, pretty straight forward. The Corsair semi modular PSU would be easier to install because of the clearance behind the DVD optical drive. NOTE: The fully modular design on SeaSonic, its a tight fit because of the connectors (motherboard 24 pin connector on the back of the PSU (TWO connectors)). In order to install the SeaSonic you have to remove the side panels (2 screws each), the plastic foot plate on the front (press the 2 black tabs down inside the PC) , the front panel (grab from the bottom and pull off), then remove the 4 screws on the DVD optical drive and slide it forward to give you some room to install the SeaSonic PSU. Reassembly: Install the front panel flat (not top first). The top will snap in, then install the front base/foot plate and side plates. I also installed a 92mm rear case fan venting out (ARTIC F9 PWM PST speed control, fluid dynamic bearing, 6 year warranty, 4 pin plug and socket for the motherboard, high airflow, very low noise). This plugs right into the motherboard on M32CD-B14 above the PCIE slot, plug and play. The cost is around $8 and free shipping. You could also use ANTEC fans, the 3 pin connector also plugs in the 4 pin socket on the motherboard (the socket is keyed offset for this reason), they cost around $10. Front fan slot is also 92mm I believe. You could buy 2 fans and chain them together (motherboards usually allow 1 watt for fans, each fan is 0.15 or 0.16 watts). Have a few zip ties ready from the dollar store (small and medium) for some wire management.
