Hello

 

I would like to add to this if I may?

 

Your PC has version 8.xx Bios so GTX 1050 will run okay.

 

The 1050 needs minimum 300 watt power supply. Not need a six or eight power connection so that is good.

 

The 1050 is about 7,5 inches long. You check to see if it will fit. You have PCIe 2.0 X16 slot on motherboard. The 1050 will run on 2.0 or 3.0 X16 slot. So that is good.

 

Some prep work must be done to get system to see and boot with new 1050 card.

 

Grzy

After that, the chance is high.

Thank you.

Chance being high could also mean it might not work right?
Whats the worse that could happen?
Also do you have any comments about PSU?
