As questionable of a power supply as that is, I still see no problem with it running a 1050Ti. Those cards barely draw any power at all. 

 

What are the other specs of your PC? Do you currently have a dedicated GPU?

unless your power supply is also a grenade, what do you need the new one for?

are you referring to the EVGA 500B? Not really a terrible PSU to run a 1050 ti with, since it's not very demanding.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Honestly, send it

 

22A on the 12V rail on that PSU is nothing to write home about (it uses the old school trick to inflate it's wattage rating by having a big 5V rail instead), but with an A4 and a 1050Ti, you will pretty much never see a realistic gaming load pulling even half that much amperage from it.

(And that's total power consumption from the wall with an overclocked i7)

 

Heck my 1050Ti and i5-2400 has ran off a 240W FSP PSU for years and still is. Never once had an issue.
