Would this psu work or do I need a different one?

That psu is crap, junk, piece of ♥♥♥♥, I wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole

[RyanM]

So any psu listed in the link is good?

Why are you looking at that ^ you're going the wrong direction A8 is pretty much crap to be blunt, 8GB ram is bare minimum where 16GB is recommended..

[RyanM]

I can already run fortnite at 20 FPS, surely upgrading to a gtx 1080 ti would increase that!

Gtx 1050 ti*

Sorry but you're all over the place in 5 pages, what is the GTX1080ti going with, what a mess.

Maybe that'll help you see what is what when picking a CPU, tbh the i7 2600 is very close to Rysen 1600, avoid all FM2 APU cpus.

There is an area of diminishing fps returns with the GTX1050ti and GTX 1060 with respect to CPUs.

Some basics ^ even now the 2500k/2600 sandybridge still manages quite well.

There's your ^ PUBG where i5 8400 does really well.

Just do your research and don't get too hung up on cpu bottleneck.

No, just no.

Pick one from Tier 1-3
https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/631048-psu-tier-list-updated/

He already got a PSU.
Chances are it's good enough for any graphics card which doesn't need additional pci-express power (which it unlikely provide.)

No idea. You'll notice. You processor is likely better than my phenom x4 9850 so better than that at least. Unlikely the performance you'd want in games but possibly acceptable enough.

But he already got it.

Adding a dedicated graphics card will of course make it better than the integrated one.
Upgrading the rest at a later time if he want he can do then.

Going with i5 8400 cost a lot more right now.

Better than 20:

Ok so can I get a certain answer here that if I buy the gtx 1050ti it will fit and my computer won’t break without a new psu

Also would you say that’s playable as the FPS often drops to 30. Would that not cause lag spikes?

I don't know what case you have. Not the exact psu model either. But possibly it can handle the graphics card. Though 300 watt is recommended but your CPU may not be the worst. 250 watt 75 for the graphics card is still 175 for everything else which I assume is enough.

I would had wanted 60+ FPS but that may be hard in that game and even more in others with your CPU.

If used I'd go with something supporting your DDR3 stick. If new the Rysen 3 at least but maybe rather the Ryzen 5 1400 + B350 motherboard + DDR4. Chances are for a GTX 1050Ti you could keep case, storage and PSU but I don't know if you have a compact case or a midi tower.

Preferably i would had aimed for the gtx 1060:

Half ok:

More ram but 3.1 ghz cpu.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B077GYN6GZ/ref=mp_s_a_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1514375884&sr=8-15&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=i3+8100+gtx

But 6 GB GTX 1060 and 16 GB of RAM would be even nicer.

Preferably I'd go the ryzen 5 1400 or i3 8100 and the GTX 1060 6 GB.

Zoostorm have said that my build will fit up to 1050 ti but all I’m not sure about is if my psu can handle a 1050ti. This is my current psu: 250W FSP Power Supply ( that’s all the info I’ve got on the psu)

FSP make good PSUs.
I assume 250 watt may be picked as something which can power the rest of the computer and a graphics card (with no additional power cables since the PSU unlikely have any.)

The PCI-express slot can only provide 75 watt which is also what the GTX 1050Ti claim to use. Even if it did pull the full 75 watt from the PCI-express slot that would leave 175 watt for everything else.

The TDP of your processor/APU is 95 watt it also contain integrated graphics so when just using the CPU part you're likely pulling less. If it would use 95 watt of power then that would leave 80 watt left over for the motherboard, RAM and storage devices and those unlikely use that.

So I think you'll be just fine with the 250 watt PSU you have. It's 50 watt less than recommended but there exist other processors which use more power than yours. FX-9590 is the worst one I know off and that have a TDP of 220 watt. 220 + 75 = 295 so maybe for that one you'd need a 300 watt PSU or better.

I also assume the PSU may be able to provide a bit more than what it's rated for. Especially at small peaks.

If you have a normal midi tower:
https://thumb1.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/1143296/326245850/stock-photo-back-side-of-full-tower-atx-black-case-on-white-background-big-pc-326245850.jpg
Then plenty of graphics cards would fit but the more powerful ones would want additional power provided by 6 or 8 pin PCI-express power connectors on cables from the PSU which you unlikely have.
The cables look like this but you won't have them:
https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/attachments/pcie6-2-jpg.57637/
And hook up like this to the more powerful cards:
http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/gpu_pcie_power2.jpg
The GTX 1050Ti draw so little power it doesn't need that and that's likely what your PSU is designed for.

This is an ATX PSU:
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41vChr%2B1rgL._SX355_.jpg
It's supposed to be 15 cm wide, 8.6 cm high and 14 cm long.
However many of the more powerful supplies are 16 cm long and for instance my EVGA G2 750 is 18 cm long. As they are actually out of spec they may not fit in all ATX cases. Usually they inform how long PSUs they can fit.
If you have an ATX PSU then you can connect any ATX PSU. However if you have a small case maybe you've got some other form factor and can't have one. And even if you can have an ATX PSU you maybe can't have a 18 cm long one for instance.
Here you can see a smaller SFX PSU:
https://www.pcper.com/files/imagecache/article_max_width/review/2014-04-28/DSC_0189.JPG

If you have a small case:
https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/d3d39016-7340-448b-8b9d-70fef020fcae_1.ed258174a4303540f141b0b75a6f271a.jpeg?odnHeight=450&odnWidth=450&odnBg=FFFFFF
It may not be able to hold expansion cards with the full height from the motherboard / width of a tower case.
However there exist cards like these for those:
https://img.purch.com/r/600x450/aHR0cDovL21lZGlhLmJlc3RvZm1pY3JvLmNvbS9EL0gvNjIxMjY5L29yaWdpbmFsL2V2Z2EtZ3R4LTEwNTAtVGktZnR3LWR0LmpwZw==
With these cards you may be able to change the fastener for the card to fit both wider and thinner cases:
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41bT9lioDwL._SL500_AC_SS350_.jpg
Thin:
https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/QW8AAOSwimdXo~6J/s-l300.jpg
And wide:
http://snpi.dell.com/snp/images/products/large/en-ca~A9763687/A9763687.jpg

As long as you can get the graphics card into your case, whatever it's the thin or wide variation I think you don't need to replace the PSU. Of course you still can but FSP can make excellent PSUs so whatever it's worth to buy a more capable one of possibly lower quality than what you have .. Not that I know what quality of PSU you actually do have. But you also seem to not want to spend much money and if so why spend money on a PSU you don't really need?

You havent looked up the psu on the internet have you? It's a two rail psu, +12V1=6A(72W) +12V2=10A(120W). The chances are high that OP overloads the PSU and maybe kills multiple components. Does the psu even have protections that work?

OP please try it out and report back what happened, since i'm very curious.

No I haven't. The only information I've got is the brand and the total power capacity. I haven't been told what actual case it's either. The capacity is never added to each other?
If the 6 ampere is for the PCI-express power and the other 10 ampere is for the CPU, RAM, motherboard and storage then I guess he could still be fine. But I guess it make things more risky since there would be less margin available than if it was all shared.

Did the system provider say the GTX 1050Ti was fine using the supplied PSU?

Feel free to pick a power powerful PSU too. Or sell the machine and get another used one with a used but more powerful CPU and graphics card.
