Just the card itself? Yes. Your system? Not so sure. Depends on all your other parts. The GTX 1050 requires 75W of power, and the manufacturer recommends at least a 300W power supply.

Actually a buddy of mine runs a 1050 ti and a i3 2130 off of a 220w psu so OP should be fine

I'm sure you could run the card with that PSU but you might not get the full potential of the card since it won't be able to draw full power.

Is your PSU 80+ rated?

 

I agree with @Damascus. You should be fine, but I recommend plugging your stuff into PCPartPicker just to be sure.

I think he just means find a similar power supply on pcpartpicker and pair it with the GTX 1050 and see if pcpartpicker gives you a warning like "woah dude you crazy! NEEDS MORE POWER". Honestly though I think you'll be totally fine

Go to https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ and enter in your hardware. It will give you a total power use estimate at the top.

I always use the Outervision calculator for this type of thing - https://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator
