I'd recommend at least the 1050, not anything lower if you plan to game.

It should work just fine. The only thing to be concerned about is the expansion slots of your case, it might be half height if it's an office PC.

Could you list all your specs if you can?

If you can tell us your specific CPU, that would help. I'm assuming you're using integrated graphics currently?
What is the make and model of both your case and PSU?
What do you use your PC for, what games, etc?
What monitor(s) do you use with this system?

GT 1030 is uber low end, but it could do the job. That said, GT 1030 - GTX 1050 price range, you might be better off looking for some B Grade/Refurbished or used deals.

All i know is that it has an i7 16gb of ram 1tb hdd and there's an ssd but I'm not sure how much. but here's pictures of the case and some other stuff I'm sure someone will be able to figure out what kind of case it is.

Your case is fine, terrible but fine. That'll house the graphics card no problem.

Issue is that powersupply. What's your total budget for you to upgrade this system?

Once the PC is on, use [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] to find out your specs and post them here.

Alright, case and PSU are trash. Case can be re-used, but if you do that, it's one of the first things I'd upgrade later on. That PSU I'd definitely be replacing ASAP.

16GB RAM is pretty good, and that might be an i7-2600 you have which is still super solid CPU. Those are perfect to hold on to, assuming that's what you have. 120GB SSD and 1TB HDD is pretty basic, you might want to add another SSD at some point, but since you already have at least one, you can focus on GPU/PSU right now.

What is your budget and currency for everything need/are willing to upgrade?
