Ok so I have this old office computer, and I wanted to turn it into a decent performance gaming computer (first time PC building) and I was thinking of adding a MSI GeForce GTW 1050 Ti, at the moment the cpu is Intel Core i5-2400, 420 W power supply no Graphics Card and 8gb of ram, with this gpu there is a better one or bottlenecking? I was thinking of playing call of duty, rust, farcry. rainbow and others Thanks for the help! :)

Assuming this PSU doesn't have a pcie connector 

The best possible GPU you can get is a 1650 , if it does have a pcie connector consider a 570 which should cost around the same as a 1050ti but will perform better 

PC: Motherboard: ASUS B550M TUF-Plus, CPU: Ryzen 3 3100, CPU Cooler: Arctic Freezer 34, GPU: GIGABYTE WindForce GTX1650S, RAM: HyperX Fury RGB 2x8GB 3200 CL16, Case, CoolerMaster MB311L ARGB, Boot Drive: 250GB MX500, Game Drive: WD Blue 1TB 7200RPM HDD.

 

Peripherals: GK61 (Optical Gateron Red) with Mistel White/Orange keycaps, Logitech G102 (Purple), BitWit Ensemble Grey Deskpad. 

 

Audio: Logitech G432, Moondrop Starfield, Mic: Razer Siren Mini (White).

 

Phone: Pixel 3a (Purple-ish).

Would go for the 570 variant. Trusted for (low budget) entry level gaming

would you recommend a 1650 or 570 with a new psu?

1650 

And no not a new PSU 

They are most likely proprietory  

Meaning that the motherboard will only work with the current psu
