Hello! I am plannig to upgrade my pc, but I don't know if my PSU will handle it.

 

Mobo: P8H61-m LX3 R2.0

GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX1050 Ti

CPU: i5-3470

  

Psu (current): ICC 420W P4       http://www.topower.com/product/silentp4_420.html

Not only that power supply is 250w at best by today's standard based on the 12V rating, it's based on a design well over a decade ago - right around the transition over from the older standard where system mostly from the 3.3V and 5V rails (hence the high 5V rating and the presence of the -5V rail that had been removed from specs around 2004).

 

I would recommend you change your PSU as well to a more appropriate, modern design.

It's time for that thing to be ditched. Get something like an EVGA 500B or step it up to a Corsair CX450M and you'll be much better off.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.
