does my psu have enough wattage

[PC GAMER 01]

I have a cheap 250 watt psu is it enough for a 1050ti If I don't use the other pci lanes

[Princess Luna]

It's insufficient.

[Snipergod87]

Possibly depending on the rest of the system. and what 250w psu

[Fasauceome]

Usually when you've got a cheapo PSU the 1050/1050 ti is the way to go, although a good PSU is a good investment, don't rely on a cheapo unit if it's a system you care about. 250 watts is enough for a 1050 ti and any budget CPU you may have, but a new PSU is recommended.

300W is the minimum requirement for a 1050Ti

It's enough but it will be running at it's absolute limit which is really, really not recommended. Remember if your PSU dies it could take everything else with it. Don't cheap out on the PSU.

Yes 300w will do it. but if you run your CPU and GPU in full load in a game 300 is coming very close to it wont work with it.  I always recommend 450w power supply and what not.

Yes, I was just pointing out that his current PSU is 50W under the minimum recommended.

His 300w PSU will slowly chug and chug and eventually DIe and possibly take your components with it.  Grab a quality PSU, let us know if you need help to which one to buy and what your budget is.

Most mATX cases will fit a full size PSU. You sure you need a small one?

 

Also what country are you in?

[PC GAMER 01]

im using a case that only fits micro atx and im from the UK

As @AndrewB121 said, most mATX cases will fit a full size PSU.

Ok in that case (assuming it really can't fit an ATX PSU) I guess you need a SFX power supply, which unfortunately are usually more expensive.

Here's a really good one (Corsair SF 450), although it may be more expensive.

For a cheaper one there's this, although it may not be as good. I suspect both are fine.

I would get at least a 450 watt.

I wouldn't recommend that, go with the Corsair SF 450.
