I'm looking to upgrade my 300w supply to 500w and choosing a video card.
I've been looking at the Zotac Gefroce GTX 1050 ti mini 4GB (updated)
Will this fit my current system?

What you have is an incompatibility issue. Your system's motherboard does not support UEFI vBIOS (the newer cards). The last non UEFI cards were the GTX 660 and GTX 670. The GTX 660 has proven to be more stable.

I bought it without upgrading my PSU, i'm getting 1 beep and then 2 beep saying its my video card...
Not sure if I just need more juice or something is not compatible.
Edited: I replaced my old video card and it works fine. thinking to get a PSU with 500w.. but I would like to get any advice if something else could be going wrong here.
anyone?
