Honestly seeing a google image of the inside of your set up.. I would advise to not purchase this. You will need a 266-Pinn connector as well as moving a lot of parts and wires for you to be able to fit this into that small case. Look for gaming pc builds and pick your parts through that. Or find a bigger case. It would be more of a hassle for you to buy this, and then rearrange everything just to fit a modest graphic card. IF you really want to get your graphics in, upgrade your ram (16gb-32gb,) as well as the Processor you have. if it is below an I7. Do not purchase a graphics card. Just save up for a gaming pc... Otherwise you will end up spending a lot more on parts to fit this pc already built... You would honestly save more money building your own pc, if you don't know how to do that or whatever, then i suggest you looking at prebuilds, I.E. Search "gaming desktops" and pick one inside of your budget. From there you can upgrade along the way.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I doubt it. You may be ok. From my research the 1050 has a max power draw of 75w. Your power supply needs to power your motherboard, cpu, fans, hard drive, graphics card etc. If you have a decent cpu and mobo you are probably close to 300 already. 1. Most of these components run off the 12V rail. So the actual power you have available on the 12V rail is probably less than 300W. So even though you think you have 300 available it's probably even less 2. There are many PSU calculators to help you figure it out eg http://www.coolermaster.com/power-supply-calculator/ If you want to know what's in your machine already (so that you can answer the calculator) download and run cpu-z to get that info and then answer the questions in the psu calculator
