Good now your gpu is showing. I dont know if you have the games you want to play installed, but if you do i would do a quick test at 720p and see how the performance is. also to maximize the performance of your gpu, you can try downloading msi afterburner. There are plenty of tutorials on youtube of where to download it and how to use it.
Psu's are pretty easy to understand. Fist thing to look at is the wattage. Hp says the power supply is 300 watts. That may not be enough for a new gpu. So i would recommend getting a new one. I think a EVGA 450 BT would work.

This is a 450 watt. And it is 80plus bronze. 80plus means that the efficiency of the power from the wall to the output to your pc is good. So this power supply consumes less power from the wall than a less efficient non 80plus psu.
Also, i dont think a GTX 1050ti is ballin' on a budget. If you are comfortable buying used, i would recommend an AMD R9 290 from ebay. Those go for about $100USD and are a little better than a 1050ti
